January 19, 2022Recycle Your Corks And Beer Carriers
January 18, 2022Recycle Your Corks And Beer Carriers At Franklin Liquors
Beer Carriers
It’s estimated* that at least 10 million new plastic can carriers are used annually by breweries in Massachusetts, with just 10% of them being collected and re-used, and less than 2% of them ever getting recycled. As a result, the amount of plastic beer packaging waste ending up in landfills each year is enough to fill any of the state’s largest breweries with discarded carriers rather than beer.
Now you can bring them to Franklin Liquors to be reused by local breweries!
Wine Corks
We also want your corks!!
Bring your natural wine corks to Franklin Liquors to be recycled!
Recycling your natural wine corks helps replace environmentally harmful,petroleum-based materials in consumer products with a natural,sustainable alternative.
Find out which wines use natural cork and which ones don’t.When you reach for a bottle, look for those with natural corks. https://recork.com/corkwatch
