BALL ARENA PROMOTES THE USE OF ALUMINUM BEVERAGE CONTAINERS

Two years ago, the EPA recognized the importance and impact of recycling that has contributed to the protection of the environment. The recycling rate in the U.S. has gone from 7 percent in 1960 to 32 percent today. A recent EPA study found that recycling and reuse activities in the United States generated 681,000 jobs and $37.8 billion in wages.

The recycling efforts of communities and businesses across the United States have contributed to this success and growth. One such company that is making a crucial contribution is Ball Corporation. The multinational bought the naming rights to the Colorado arena that is home to the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche. With its initiative to replace plastic containers with aluminum ones, Ball Arena in Denver has saved nearly 100,000 plastic water bottles and cups by switching to aluminum beverage containers in just one month.

And so he has done so you know in their social networks. Ball Arena said on Twitter that “by switching to aluminum beverage containers, in the last 30 days Ball Arena has eliminated over 100,000 water bottles and plastic cups at our events. Today is #AmericaRecyclesDay, so don’t forget to recycle your cans, cups and aluminum bottles – they’re infinitely recyclable!”.

Finally, Ball committed to using recyclable aluminum packaging products for all KSE-owned sports teams and venues, an initiative the company intends to continue in the coming year.
