We have in prior years been forced to sell these BMDAs for a modest fee.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Goldman Fund, we are now able to provide BMDA's to anyone who needs one. We believe that more policymakers and advocates will be motivated to launch campaigns to address beverage container waste when they are armed with the facts.
The Container Recycling Institute is pleased to offer our unique tool for researching the beverage market, beverage container recycling, and the environmental impacts of beverage packaging. Our Beverage Market Data Analysis (BMDA) is an effective way to get valuable information not available elsewhere!
