Every Can Counts U.S., a program dedicated to catalyzing away-from-home recycling of aluminum beverage cans in the United States, announced a new activation with Open Water at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The recycling activation features more than 1,200 empty Open Water aluminum beverage containers inside of a Clippers-themed recycling cage. This aluminum fabricated cage was built in California and highlights the value of recycling used beverage cans at away-from-home events.
“Intuit Dome is redefining what sustainability can look like in professional sports venues and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with Every Can Counts to celebrate these efforts,” said Niki Mazaroli, director of sustainability and community engagement at Open Water. “Their leadership shows how world class entertainment and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand – and we’re grateful that Open Water can play a part in eliminating plastic waste and keeping aluminum in the circular economy.”
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable. And aluminum beverage cans are the most sustainable beverage package on virtually every measure. Recycling aluminum cans also helps to save energy and reduce waste.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this new partnership with Open Water by launching a first-of-its-kind recycling cage at Intuit Dome’s Plaza,” said Tim Ebner, vice president of marketing and communications at Can Manufacturers Institute and a lead organizer of the Every Can Counts U.S. chapter. “The Every Can Counts recycling cage will inspire people to recycle by highlighting the sustainability success of aluminum beverage cans. Used beverage cans are easily recyclable, moving on average from the recycling bin to newly formed cans in less than 60 days on average, and they are a circular solution.”
