A Food & Beverage Packaging Company

The Challenge

This packaging company was discarding several thousands of tons of filtercake from their waste water treatment processes at each of their beverage can production facilities. For years (at most of their facilities) this material was discarded in a landfill. This company was looking for better methods to help minimize their waste disposal volumes, including achieving zero landfill status in as many facilities as possible.

  Partnering with Envita raised this company’s status to one of the most sustainable in the food & beverage packaging industry in all of North America. Envita has also succeeded in transforming a total of 15 of their facilities into zero landfill operations.
