This would raise the national UBC recycling rate to 85 percent \u2014 an increase of 48 percent over the rate in 2021. Titled &#8221;Improving Efficiency and Sustainability in Aluminum Beverage Can Recycling,&#8221; the report also finds:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improving existing state DRS programs with deficiencies would raise the national aluminum UBC recycling rate by 3.2 percentage points;<\/li>\n<li>Implementing DRS laws in all states that have introduced DRS legislation since 2021 would raise this rate by 20 percentage points; and<\/li>\n<li>Implementing DRS laws in the 10 non-deposit states with the highest populations would increase this rate by 24 percentage points.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the U.S., aluminum UBCs are one of the most valuable types of consumer recyclables and have high potential for direct recyclability with limited losses. However, the report finds that current aluminum UBC recycling practices aren&#8217;t the end solution to limiting the laborious and energy-intensive extraction of bauxite ore, from which aluminum is made.<\/p>\n<p>Based on industry data, CRI calculated the U.S. recycling rate for aluminum beverage cans on deposit as 74 percent and the rate for cans not on deposit as 26 percent (2021 data). The 10 U.S. states with DRS programs account for almost half of the total tons of aluminum beverage cans recycled in the U.S. &#8211; 300,716 of the 633,500 tons total (2021 data).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingproductnews.com\/article\/42865\/report-finds-deposit-return-system-could-increase-aluminum-can-recycling-rates-to-85percent\">Recycling Product News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-661\/\">Report finds deposit return system could increase aluminum can recycling rates to 85%<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7660,4935,575,5643],"class_list":["post-137204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-aluminum","tag-drs","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-usa"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137204\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
