ACCELERATING IMPACT Moving Toward Zero Waste In Brazil, our team works to divert its non-metal waste (i.e., pallets, shrink wrap and metal coil cores) from landfills through recycling, co-processing, composting and refining. As of November 2020, 100% of Crown’s beverage can plants in Brazil are zero waste to landfill. This achievement makes it the first Division in our global network to reach this milestone. Our beverage can operations in Izmit and Osmaniye, Turkey, received a Zero Waste certificate awarded by the Turkish government. The award is part of Turkey’s Zero Waste Policy, an action plan initiated in 2017 with the primary goal of collecting and separating all waste and increasing recycling rates, both in industrial and consumer environments across the country. The plants implemented measures such as reducing hazardous waste by 80%, reducing chemical usage by 60%, reducing greenhouse gas emission rates through energy-saving activities and reducing waste deposited in landfills by 95%. Employees have become dedicated to the sustainability journey and are proud to be making an impact on the community around them.
