Alcoa Announces Ambitious UBC Recycling Rate Goal

摘要

Alcoa has established a goal to raise the industry's used beverage can (UBC) recycling rate in North America from the current 52 percent rate to 75 percent fey 20-15. "The aluminum industry must work together for common sustainability goals that transcend individual commercial objectives, and we must approach this with a sense of urgency. It's all about recapturing this pool of energy before it is lost to the landfill," Greg Wittbecker, Alcoa's director of corporate metal recycling strategy, said in a call-for-action presentation to aluminum industry leaders during Platt's Aluminum Symposium, Jan. 20-22 in Marco Island, Fla.
