IMPACT

When we first started the Brewcycling Collaborative, we wanted to fall fast, just start it up, and see where it takes us. Taking action is what was needed to keep materials out of the landfill!

With the hard work and action of our volunteer Brewcyclers, we are proud to announce that we have officially passed 100,000lbs of materials diverted from the landfill!**

Through the Brewcycling SCRAPS (Single-stream Cardboard Recycled + Aluminum cans Polypropylene bags & Shrink wrap) brewery baling program we have guaranteed these commodities were sent to facilities to be recycled properly. This minimizes the potential for contamination of otherwise valuable materials and diverts additional materials that otherwise can't be accepted in curbside recycling programs.

Thank you to all our participating partners, and especially the hard work of our host site Juneshine Co. & the support of Thorn Brewing. We're so grateful for your partnership and truly, could not do it without you!

Cardboard*: ~80,000lbs
