Dive Summary:
- MillerCoors reuses and recycles 100% of all its waste, including food, leading the company to reduce the amount of waste from 135 tons per month to zero.
- Beginning in 2011, Miller Coors started to eliminate municipal waste it disposed of at a local landfill by spending $1 million on an overhaul of its equipment and processing.
- The facility handles glass, paper, plastic, metal and byproducts from the brewing process as well as food that goes to a waste-to-energy plant.
