MI ENVIRONMENT
Expanding recycling access brought in thousands of new customers to Marquette County Solid Waste Management Authority
Date: April 29, 2021
(Today s story is the latest in a series from NextCycle that MI Environment will run periodically to highlight the program s effort to attract end markets for recyclable materials through new companies and new jobs in Michigan, leveraging state dollars with private investment. Next Cycle is an EGLE grantee.)
THE CHALLENGE
The Marquette County Michigan Solid Waste Management Authority (MCSWMA) had a problem. Located in Michigan s Upper Peninsula, the recycling program feeding their dual stream material recovery facility (MRF) was mired in low participation - with an average recycling rate of 8%. Recyclables were going to the landfill at an increasing rate.

The Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company has some news to share. The multinational beverage and snack manufacturer is shifting to 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) plastic bottles across its drink portfolio.
Beginning in February 2021, the company s brands including Coke, Coke Zero Sugar, Diet Coke and Fanta will now come in a new, 13.2oz bottle designed to be sippable and reduce the amount of plastic used. Coca-Cola was first introduced in 1886 and has since become one of the most iconic, recognizable drinks in the world.
The shift to reduce plastics is part of the Atlanta-based company s 2018 global goal to create a World Without Waste, says Alpa Sutaria, vice president and general manager of sustainability for Coca-Cola s North America Operating Unit. The company aims to make 100% of its packaging recyclable by 2025 and to use 50% recycled content by 2030. The bottle redesign is a step forward to achieving this goal.
