Beer Nut: Few plastic beer can carriers being recycled
Today 8:18 AM
Rob’s email was an eye-opener.
According to estimates from data collected by the Mass. Brew Bros. in discussions with Massachusetts breweries, officials from recycling groups, and the state’s largest waste management companies, at least 10 million new plastic beer can carriers are used annually by breweries in Massachusetts, with just 10% of them being collected and reused, and less than 2% of them ever getting recycled.
This means that they end up glutting the state’s landfills.
As a craft beer drinker and big fan of the environment, this fact disturbs me.

SPRINGFIELD For anyone interested in cold, tasty beer, here are some sobering statistics:
Out of some 8,000 breweries in the United States, only 60, or less than 1 percent, are black-owned businesses. In Massachusetts, a virtual hopbed of craft beer with more than 200 breweries, only about a half dozen are black-owned. One of them is White Lion Brewery in Springfield.
“The fabric of the craft beer trade doesn’t mirror the fabric of the communities we work, play and live in,” says Ray Berry, White Lion’s owner and founder, who sits on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee of the Massachusetts Brewers Guild.
