Ardagh Group led a can recycling campaign throughout the Chicago area securing more than 4,200 lbs. of cans for recycling with proceeds donated to charity.
Ardagh has led this annual effort for over 15 years, mobilizing its 300 employees across 3 locations to collect cans throughout the year and bring them to their respective locations to be recycled. The company teams with United Scrap, which buys and recycles the cans, and Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, which applies proceeds from the recycled cans to keep families with hospitalized children together.
Overall, 75 percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today. Beverage brands also benefit from the package’s filling, distribution and retail display economics with no waste space due to the ability to stack cans.
This year’s campaign proceeds were donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana (RMHC-CNI).
