It’s time for an update on our #2MillionCans Recycling Contest!?Students have been busy this fall collecting their aluminum beverage cans for recycling. We’re excited to report participating schools have officially collected more than 138,000 cans! And we are still waiting to count even more cans from schools making their first haul! Here are the school rankings so far (by number of cans per student):? 1st - Fairplain Elementary (West Virginia)? 2nd - Mendon Elementary (Pennsylvania)? 3rd - Yankeetown Elementary (Indiana)? 4th - Flynn Park Elementary (Missouri)? 5th - Mt. Washington Elementary (Kentucky) Follow Recycling is like Magic! as we continue to report on how our students are doing with this recycling initiative! https://lnkd.in/eqX4yGPy

The Can Manufacturers Institute is the national trade association of the can manufacturing industry and its suppliers.
关于我们
The Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) is the trade association of the metal and composite can manufacturing industry and its suppliers in the United States. The association received its charter in 1938, then representing only 39 manufacturers and suppliers of goods and services to the industry. CMI members account for over 81% of annual domestic production of 133 billion cans; together they employ 22,000 people with plants in 33 states, Puerto Rico and American Samoa. CMI's mission, simply stated, is to foster the prosperity of the industry and bring value to its members in a cost effective way. We do this by promoting the can and communicating its many benefits to our customers, consumers, the media, and trade analysts. CMI assumes many roles to meet the industry's needs. On both the national and state level, CMI actively participates in the exchange of ideas influencing legislative, regulatory and administrative policies of interest to can makers. CMI has also conducted and sponsored several innovative studies that led to promotional campaigns seeking larger market share for the can. CMI provides a statistical service by publishing monthly and annual shipment reports by product and marketing category and serves as the industry's technical forum.

Happy America Recycles Day!??The metal can industry is taking action by launching our first Cans for Cash Circularity Center in Blytheville, Arkansas! Cans for Cash targets cities and towns near major American waterways that have limited or no access to recycling, including along the banks of the Mississippi River. Soon, we will add more Circularity Centers in Florida, Illinois, and Mississippi! This program demonstrates how aluminum beverage cans help sustain the U.S. recycling system and promote the circular economy in action. Residents in Blytheville who drop off empty aluminum beverage cans at the Circularity Center will receive a digital payment of $0.30 per pound for cans they collect. Additional revenue from the scrap value will go back to the city to support local community efforts.?Thank you to our members and partners who made this program possible, including Every Can Counts & Replenysh! Our goal is to boost recycling, reduce litter and landfill waste, and enhance local economies with direct cash payouts for participants. Let's work together to build a more sustainable future! https://lnkd.in/eZc_6SYs #EveryCanCounts?#AmericaRecyclesDay?#Recycle?#Sustainability?#Recycling?#aluminum?#circularity?#CansForCash

It's SPOOKY SEASON, and we are almost a month into the #2MillionCans Recycling Contest!???? Students from 18 elementary schools across 12 states are getting into the Halloween spirit by recycling their used aluminum beverage cans. They are also dressing the part! We love seeing their costumes like blue recycling bins, giant unicorns, and the book character Ellie, a unicorn-loving, can-recycling superstar!??????♀? There are more than 1,600 elementary school students in total working hard to beat last year's record of 1.3 million recycled aluminum beverage cans! Stay tuned as we share more contest updates and follow along at Recycling is like Magic! https://lnkd.in/eqX4yGPy Thank you to our amazing members and Can Champions for supporting the participating schools in reaching their goals: Tri-Arrows Aluminum, Inc.

Aluminum recycling plays a pivotal role in the U.S. economy. You also play a key role in recycling used beverage cans (UBCs). Each year, our nation loses more than $800 million in aluminum to cans that end up in landfill. Recycling these cans reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption and keeps the circular economy going strong! ???? Watch this Business Insider video to learn more about aluminum recycling, and how every American plays a role in the success of recycling used beverage cans. Increasing household and away-from-home recycling is also one of four pillars in our Recycling Primer and Roadmap to 2030. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eatWdB9b
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable, but Americans throw out millions of tons of it every year — mainly aluminum cans and other post-consumer scrap.

Earlier this week, we hosted Packaging World's Matt Reynolds for a up-close look at our robot recycler in action! This AI-powered technology is funded by Ardagh Metal Packaging and Crown Holdings, Inc. and installed on the "last chance" recovery line at LRS "The Exchange" facility in Chicago. The leased EverestLabs.AI robot picks used aluminum beverage cans (UBCs), and it's just the latest example of how the metal can industry plays a lead role in investing in technologies to boost recycling. This tech helps generate revenue and ensures maximum efficiency, recovery, and recycling of UBCs overall! Learn more about the program to see how cans drive the U.S. recycling system: https://lnkd.in/e6K7YNWZ
Even the most advanced material recovery facilities (MRFs), like LRS' new The Exchange in Chicago, lose some valuable post-consumer recyclable material to landfill. When processing more than 350,000 pounds of recycled aluminum per month, or 12 million used beverage cans (UBCs), some are bound to slip through. Today's most valuable PCR commodity is aluminum, and losing that material out of the back-end of the system is a drain on both potential revenue and circular/sustainable aspirations. So, with funding support from?Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) members?Ardagh Metal Packaging?and?Crown Holdings, Inc., LRS installed EverestLabs.AI’s RecycleOS platform, complete with material sorting robot. The robot sits on the residual line, also called the “last chance” line, to catch mis-sorted materials and divert them from landfill to recycling streams. This robot prioritizes aluminum UBCs, and also picks HDPE. This helps increase revenue and ensure maximum efficiency, recovery, and recycling of used beverage cans (UBCs). "The time span from our vision system first seeing an object [a UBC in the residual stream], to determining what it is and what course of action to take, is about 10 to 15 milliseconds,” says Apurba Pradhan at EverestLabs.AI. “In comparison, the best self-driving cars will make that determination at 100-200 milliseconds. We've developed a 10 order of magnitude faster AI to do this kind of work. And the variability in objects is tremendous. A can that ends up in this facility might be completely crushed, or it's in its full natural shape, or anything in between. We have to determine that it's a can, among hundreds of [packaging waste objects] at a time [on the conveyor] of about 10 milliseconds. This is super difficult problem to solve, but once you've done that, then you can program robotics to recover the valuable materials.” The Everest equipment specifically, which has been in the facility for nearly one year, has individually accounted for recovering more than a million individual aluminum beverage cans at the facility, according to Joy Rifkin, sustainability manager at LRS. The value of that recovered material alone often pays for this type of equipment, stakeholders say. The collaboration at LRS follows one?between CMI, EverestLabs, and Caglia Environmental, which has captured?more than 1,500?additional UBCs per day since installation at a Caglia MRF. “With both robot lease agreements that include a revenue share, CMI is able to leverage that UBCs are consistently one of the most valuable recyclable commodities,” says CMI's Scott Breen. “CMI is receiving a portion of all revenue generated from the cans collected by the robot and then using those funds for even more can-capture equipment in MRFs.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gqZ37Vtg
