Every Can Counts Survey Results: Two in Three European Consumers Believe More Should Be Done to Encourage Recycling

The latest consumer poll results by Every Can Counts (ECC) highlight that a truly sustainable future will require close collaboration between governments and beverage brands. The Recycling Habits and Attitude in Europe 2022 survey explores current recycling habits, identifies barriers and motivations to increase recycling, assesses knowledge around the recycling of aluminum beverage cans and uncovers messages that connect with European consumers. The message is clear: Recycling in Europe is not living up to its potential. Consumers need help from governments, brands, retailers and the packaging industry to do better. The top three initiatives consumers would like to see implemented to increase recycling rates are: using only 100% recyclable packaging (53%); more recycling in public areas (52%); and a deposit return program (50%).

Pizza Packaging Made Easy (and Sustainable)

Approximately three billion pizza boxes are manufactured in the U.S. each year1 and nearly 12.5 million of those pizzas are purchased for Super Bowl Sunday alone according to American Pizza Community. Pratt Industries is proud to be a producer, supplier and recycler of pizza boxes used to celebrate special occasions, from the big game to family game nights and everything in between. “Pizza is a big part of American culture,” says Bob Humberstone, Segment Director for Pratt’s pizza business. “It’s an easy go-to for serving groups, whether spontaneous get-togethers or pre-planned celebrations; making it a convenient and fast crowd pleaser.” Humberstone adds that Pratt understands pizza. Just like one pie doesn’t fit all when it comes to pizza, Pratt understands that one solution does not suffice for all pizza retailers. “National chains need reliable volume, supply chain optimization and sustainable solutions,” says Humberstone, “while regional players need help with inventory management, order flexibility, and size options. Smaller pizzerias may want to be more personal and have quick-turn options for seasonal messages tied to the local community.”
