MARQUETTE — American Beverage, in partnership with The Recycling Partnership, has announced that communities within Marquette County will receive an investment as a part of the Every Bottle Back initiative, a beverage industry-led effort to reduce the industry’s plastic footprint and keep bottles out of nature.
Through The Recycling Partnership, America’s leading beverage companies are investing $68,800 to provide free higher-capacity recycling carts and recycling education materials to 4,450 households in Marquette County, including Marquette, Negaunee and Ishpeming townships. This investment is expected to yield over 8 million new pounds of recyclable materials over 10 years.
