Hoosier Beverage Association Marks 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
The Hoosier Beverage Association celebrates the 50th anniversary of Earth Day through continued support for environmentally sustainable solutions and applauds the tireless commitment of sustainability, sanitation and supply chain workers who are showing up to work every day to provide critical services and keep families nourished in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The changes that have occurred to daily life hasn’t slowed our commitment to building a sustainable future, and we continue to press ahead with innovative solutions to reduce the amount of new plastic used to bring our beverages to market,” said Diane Masariu. “As we celebrate Earth Day, we recognize the unwavering contributions of our sustainability, sanitation and supply chain workers who are undaunted in the contributions to building a circular economy. Each and every day, American workers collect nearly a half billion pounds of recyclable materials destined to be remade. Thanks to their hard work, our efforts to reduce the beverage industry’s plastic footprint and protect the environment continues even as our lives are turned upside by COVID-19.”
“On this Earth Day, we recognize and give thanks to our sustainability workforce who are here for our communities and working every day to maintain our outdoor spaces, preserve our natural resources and build a circular economy – especially during this challenging time,” said Diane Masariu, Executive Director of the Hoosier Beverage Association. “America’s beverage companies look forward to continuing to work with all those who share our goal of protecting and preserving the environment for future generations to come.”
