The Recycling Partnership, a national nonprofit that applies corporate funding to improve recycling efforts in communities across the country, is pleased to announce that Berry Global, Inc., has joined on as its newest funding partner.
“Our mission of ‘Always Advancing to Protect What’s Important’ is in direct alignment with the efforts pursued by The Recycling Partnership,” said Tom Salmon, CEO of Berry. “By collaborating with The Recycling Partnership, we will be assisting in their efforts to further expand access to recycling in cities and towns across the United States.”
Since 2015, The Recycling Partnership has assisted more than 500 communities in improving their recycling efforts, reaching more than 26 million households, and has invested more than $27 million of corporate funding in recycling infrastructure.
Recycling is a core component of Berry’s commitment to sustainability. In addition to encouraging consumer recycling, the company is also working to decrease landfill waste in their own operations. In addition, Berry is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions’ intensity and to prioritizing the EPA framework of reduce, reuse, and recycle.
“Recycling in the U.S. is far from perfect,” notes Keefe Harrison, CEO of The Recycling Partnership. “Working closely with industry leaders like Berry allows us to expand access to recycling in communities across the nation, unlocking the environmental and economic benefits of strong recycling systems. Through these partnerships, we are empowering companies to create a circular economy, while building stronger communities and a cleaner, greener future.”
