What We Did
Acre have hired internationally to help build Ball’s team, compromising of some of the industry’s leading practitioners from thought leading manufacturers to big four consulting firms.
The Impact of the Team
A recent study confirmed that beverage cans have, by far, the highest global recycling rate of all common beverage packaging substrates (69 percent). Beverage can recycle rates are at or above 90 percent in several developed markets such as Belgium and Germany, as well as in developing markets, such as Brazil, where no formal packaging collection and recycling schemes yet exist.
