Beverage can manufacturers Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) and Crown Holdings (Crown) recently announced that they are funding two new grants for can capture equipment at material recovery facilities (MRFs), which sort single-stream recycling into materials for sale, that will capture more than 20 million aluminum beverage cans annually.
Annually, these additional cans are collected and are worth approximately $325,000 and, when recycled, are estimated to save the same amount of energy needed to power more than 900 U.S. homes for an entire year.
Specifically, these two grants are in addition to the four that AMP and Crown have previously funded as part of a program in collaboration with The Recycling Partnership. Collectively, the six can capture equipment grants that Ardagh and Crown have funded have catalyzed the installation of equipment that will capture more than 115.5 million aluminum beverage cans each year of operation. The total value of the cans captured through these six grants amounts to more than $1.8 million and, once recycled, will provide energy savings equivalent to powering more than 5,000 U.S. homes for an entire year.
AMP-North America CEO Jens Irion remarked that.
“Ardagh Metal Packaging is proud to jointly fund with Crown these grants that continue to demonstrate that there is a significant opportunity for MRFs to capture millions of aluminum beverage cans each year.”
