At America’s beverage companies, we’re carefully designing our bottles and cans to be 100% recyclable. And we’re investing in Florida communities, so more of our cans and bottles can be collected and made into new ones as intended.
Our Impact
Jacksonville
Every Bottle Back® Project
The city of Jacksonville’s recycling system had a high contamination rate so we helped to fund a robust, hands-on recycling education program for 280,000 households. Our efforts resulted in a 23% reduction in recycling contamination and gave recyclables a higher chance of being remade.
Pensacola
Every Bottle Back® Project
Pensacola wanted to reintroduce their recycling program. Our $236,250 investment supported new on-truck AI camera technology and community education that helped reduce contamination in the recycling stream and lead to more recyclables being remade.
Successful public-private partnership improves recycling in Jacksonville
City Councilman Ron Salem, Elizabeth DeWitt of the Florida Beverage Association and Cody Marshall from The Recycling Partnership appear alongside city staff.
Improving recycling education in Jacksonville
Our efforts included distributing educational materials to 280,000 households on best recycling practices.
