It’s a pity Eurostat doesn’t yet collect their ‘deposit’ cans and put these in the Dutch RVM’s. Probably a lot of cans and PET bottles get lost in mixed waste for incineration this way. And DRS Netherlands doesn’t have to pay back the deposit money!

What a pity that France is delaying the introduction of a deposit return system for aluminium beverage cans and PET bottles. Recycling rates would within 2 years jump from 50 to 90%! ⁦⁦⁦@laconsigne

Participated today at the opening of the new recycling centre of Constellium in France. An impressive number of 20 billion cans will be transferred into new aluminium every year, saving primary resources, energy and CO2 emissions by 95%!

Merijn Tinga, the famous plastic soup surfer made today a strong plea for a deposit return system for bottles and cans in France in the presence of Mrs Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris

We started with our Every Can Counts pre-deposit beverage can recycling project on the beautiful Greek island of Antiparos! ⁦⁦@KatheKoutiMetra⁩i

Meet CanMan Tom, who’ll be sitting in the passenger’s seat of our new soapbox when it takes to the track at this year’s #RedBullSoapboxRace in London! 👋

And yes, our boss consented to wearing the can suit… all to remind you about the importance of recycling your drink cans!♻️

Proud to be at the announcement of our new European Aluminium Circular Can End project at the canmakers event in Amsterdam. We are on our way to a fully circular beverage can with close to 100% recycled content!

The first reverse vending machine at our European Aluminium offices in Brussels! We are well prepared for the expansion of Deposit Return Systems in Europe for beverage cans and bottles! #PPWR

Jacques Delors passed away today. My one and only political hero. A great European with a brilliant vision: without his proposals for the Internal Market and the Euro, Europe would have been less prosperous, less liberal and less social.

Dubai is showing the way: separate and only recyclable waste collection on their streets!

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

Announcement of our global aluminium can recycling target of 80% at Dubai COP 28!

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

Every Can Counts made it to COP 28 spreading the fully circular aluminium cans message to the world!

At the Deposit Return System conference in Warsaw: they overlooked the most circular and best performing beverage packaging in DRS, the aluminium beverage can!

Is it BBQ weather yet? 🌦️ If you're grilling al fresco this weekend, remember that all your cooking foil and foil trays can be recycled. Just rinse or wipe them clean and recycle them with your cans - simple!♻️

Attending today the Alufoil event on the collection and recycling of aluminium coffee capsules. More and more countries accept the capsules in their blue bag or yellow bin for recycling!

Cycling in the Netherlands and unfortunately still some littered cans despite the start of the deposit return system 1 month ago. Higher deposit fees and more return points might help #StatiegeldNederland

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

Visit to Dansk Retur System tomorrow, probably one of the best deposit systems in the world! #permanentmaterials like aluminium are doing very well on DRS as it allows for a fully closed can-to-can remelting and recycling solution!

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

I will speak tomorrow about balanced deposit return systems for aluminium beverage cans at the famous Brussels Packaging Forum and present mini RVM’s from our sponsor ⁦@PureRecycle⁩

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

Really? #greenclaims

[Maarten Labberton @MG_Labberton]

The Belgian PMD blue bag packaging collection system generates good results for the recycling of the aluminium packaging fraction #aluminiumrecycling
