Plastic Can - ABA Issue Alert
Last month's newsletter included links to recent news reports about the resurgence of "plastic cans," beverage containers that have a PET body with a pull-tab top made of aluminum. We neglected to link to the American Beverage Association's "ABA Environmental Affairs: Issue Alert" on the subject which has been shared with NAPCOR. The alert summarizes the bans on plastic cans in Illinois, Maine, and Minnesota, and emphasizes the potential disruptive effect of packages like this on the recycling infrastructure.
Members can access the current issue of news from NAPCOR, as well as all previous ones, via the archive button at the top of the Member Page on the NAPCOR web site.
