Recycling on ice: Every Can Counts partners with KAWEA to recycle beverage cans at Grazer Winterwelt
The ice skating rink “Grazer Winterwelt“ in the capital of Styria, Austria has been open since November. For the first time, the organizers partner with Every Can Counts and the Styrian drink brand KAWEA to put environmental protection next to ice skating on the agenda of the event. Ice rink branded can bins invite people to recycle their consumed cans and promoters with backpacks inform visitors about drink can recycling and why it matters.
“We want to offer our visitors a fantastic ice skating experience and encourage them to take care of the environment. Together with Every Can Counts and KAWEA we have set up recycling containers to collect beverage cans to bring them back in the recycling loop”, says Nina Mally from “Grazer Winterwelt“.
Claudia Bierth, spokesperson for Every Can Counts Austria, is very pleased about the cooperation: “More and more event organizers approach us to make their events greener. In the case of beverage cans, recycling not only means conservation of resources, but 95 % less energy compared to the production of new aluminium. The can is a ‘perfect fit’ for the circular economy.”
Until the end of January visitors can skate, try some pirouettes or play ice hockey at “Grazer Winterwelt“ – and do something good for the environment at the same time.
