Recycling is good for the environment, but it's also smart business. By recycling used materials, we are able to reduce cost while minimizing our impacts on the environment. To further business and environmental goals, Anheuser-Busch continually explores ways to reduce the materials we use and to recycle the by-products of our business.
As part of our Environmental Health and Safety management program, we employ a number of strategies to promote material reduction and recycling:
- Engaging employees through waste reduction teams.
- Having an internal recycling group - The Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation.
- Promoting recycling at home, in the office and at events.
- Partnering with our suppliers to make purchasing decisions that minimize impacts from packaging materials.
- Partnering with our U.S. wholesalers and suppliers to design environmentally friendly beverage containers and packaging.
- Partnering in governmental programs that promote waste reduction, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program.
- Partnering in public educational campaigns and recycling efforts.
