Crown Holdings Celebrates Recycling Day

May 8, 2024 8:50 AM ET

On Global Recycling Day, we cheered on Every Can Counts (ECC) and its recent on-the-ground work to advance ambitious beverage can recycling rates all around the world. By connecting with consumers at large-scale events and providing valuable insight on the circular economy, ECC is stopping the flow of unnecessary packaging waste in its tracks.

Recent activities led by ECC include a St. Patrick's Festival where ambassadors collected cans and used a recycled can artwork installation to raise awareness around recycling benefits, as well as a Mardi Gras initiative that saved more than 150,000 beverage cans from landfills—triple the amount collected in 2023!

We're proud to continue supporting ECC and are encouraged to see new report results that can recycling in Europe has reached a record level of 76.1% as of 2021, meaning we are making progress toward our goal of 100% by 2050.
