2013 Bottled Up Report

bottleduptnailAs part of our thought leadership and mission to help improve beverage container recycling in the U.S., CRI periodically performs an analysis of beverage container sales and recycling rates, and publishes the information in the form of an authoritative report for use by decision-makers and recycling advocates. The 2013 edition of this signature report is Bottled Up (2000-2010) – Beverage Container Recycling Stagnates.

Bottled Up, which includes information sourced from organizations with expertise in recycling and related fields, can be used as a resource for research and analysis regarding beverage container recycling and the environmental impacts of beverage packaging. The report is accurate and comprehensive – full of valuable recycling information you won’t find elsewhere!
