A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending the Georgia Beverage Association; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Georgia has a strong and growing infrastructure for recycling; and

WHEREAS, the issue of litter in our environment is a growing concern, and the improper disposal of litter and recyclables impacts our world-renowned oceans, rivers, and waterways, negatively affecting Georgia's environment, tourism, and economy; and

WHEREAS, go it alone strategies will not have a substantial impact or improve recycling rates, making it imperative that we shape the solution with collective action; and

WHEREAS, the beverage industry is committed to creating a circular economy and improving the recycling rates of packaging through projects such as the Georgia Beverage Association's Made to be Remade initiative; and

WHEREAS, the Made to be Remade initiative is committed to educating consumers about the value of recycling and investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure upgrades to expand access to recycling and support community education efforts; and

WHEREAS, The Coca-Cola Company, Keurig, Dr. Pepper, and PepsiCo have launched several initiatives to improve the recycling of beverage containers and reduce the industry's use of new materials by partnering with environment and sustainability leaders such as the World Wildlife Fund, Closed Loop Partners, and The Recycling Partnership; and

WHEREAS, the industry's Every Bottle Back initiative is directing the equivalent of $400 million to The Recycling Partnership and Closed Loop Partners through a new $100 million industry fund that will be matched three-to-one by other grants and investors to improve the collection of plastic bottle for recycling; and

WHEREAS, the industry's Every Bottle Back initiative is working with the World Wildlife Fund to measure and track progress toward reducing the industry's plastic footprint and improving the quality and availability of recycled plastic in key regions of the county, including Georgia; and

WHEREAS, the Georgia Beverage Association's Made to be Remade initiative is committed to producing 100 percent recyclable cans, bottles, and caps.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize and commend the Georgia Beverage Association for the increased recycling efforts it has undertaken through its Made to be Remade initiative as well as extend best wishes for continued success.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to the Georgia Beverage Association.
