O-I Announces New Partnerships to Increase Post Consumer Glass Recycling in Brazil.

O-I, a glass packaging company, has announced two new partnerships in Brazil to increase post-consumer glass recycling and reduce waste. The partnerships with the Recicleiros Institute and Orizon aim to address the logistical challenges and lack of collection infrastructure that have led to a significant amount of glass packaging ending up in landfills. The Recicleiros Institute will recycle all post-consumer glass packaging processed in their sorting units, while Orizon will capture glass from regular urban collection and transport it directly to the industry. These partnerships demonstrate the feasibility of glass recycling as part of Brazil's circular economy and promote job creation and income generation. [Extracted from the article]
