Beverage Container Recycling Continues to Grow in EU (Resource Recycling)

The recycling rate for beverage containers in Europe hit 33 percent in 2008, with nearly 386,000 tons of material collected.  The combined recycling and recovery rates for the EU countries were nearly double, with a 65 percent recovery rate. 

The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) monitored the findings.  The Brussels-based non-profit group hopes to increase the recycling rate by 50 percent by 2012.
