The Canadian Beverage Container Recycling Association (CBCRA) and its Recycle Everywhere program are thrilled to announce that the recovery rate of empty beverage containers in Manitoba increased to 70% by the end of 2016.
“I am thrilled that CBCRA has achieved a 70 percent recovery rate – the largest increase between 2010 and 2016 of any jurisdiction in North America,” says the Hon. Cathy Cox, minister of sustainable development. “The Province of Manitoba congratulates CBCRA and Recycle Everywhere on their tremendous progress towards reaching the government-mandated target of recovering 75 percent of empty beverage containers sold in this province. But it’s also Manitobans who have reason to be proud for their contribution to more recycling and a cleaner environment.”
