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!

What is it?

The Beverage Market Data Analysis is an Excel spreadsheet containing sales, recycling and wasting data for most beverages and beverage packages sold in the United States—by state or by the U.S. as a whole! It is a user-friendly wealth of information derived from industry and government sources, and is easily modifiable. Download a sample here [xls, 400 KB].

  • Get data on beverage and packaging sales for any state & the U.S.
