The figure is equivalent to each employee at organisations registered with the programme recycling four cans a month.
Every Can Counts, which is funded by leading European and UK drinks can manufacturers, and aluminium and steel packaging reprocessors, calculates that by enabling more than 394 tonnes of drinks cans to be recycled last year, over 4,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions have been avoided.
Announcing the 2010 results at the Facilities Show, Diana Caldwell of Every Can Counts said: “We’re extremely pleased with what Every Can Counts achieved in 2010. More and more organisations are joining the programme as they understand the contribution it can make to workplace recycling and CSR schemes.”
