Coca-Cola puts $500,000 into regional recycling system

摘要

A major brand owner will help provide funding for carts, MRF upgrades, collection vehicles and other core projects to expand materials recovery in the Southeast. The Coca-Cola Foundation recently awarded $500,000 to the Southeast Recycling Development Council (SERDC) to be used in boosting recycling in that region. The money will be dispersed through a recycling infrastructure grant program. According to an announcement, generating money for collection and processing components is "key to dramatically increasing material recovery." The involved parties added that the targeted infrastructure will focus on "connecting material generation with hungry end markets in the Southeast and helping to close the loop for packaging."
