Partner Profile: Recycle Everywhere

Folklorama is constantly working to understand its impact on reducing global warming while making a strong effort to reduce our emissions. From meeting with the Pavilion Coordinators where environmental initiatives and goals are set to working outside of the Festival to create year-round initiatives for the Operations team, Folklorama is striving to be a better friend to the environment.

One of their initiatives was the partnership with Recycle Everywhere.

Founded in 2010, the Canadian Beverage Container Recycling Association (CBCRA) is a not-for-profit, industry-funded organization whose membership includes beverage brand owners and distributors. CBCRA is committed to reaching the government-mandated target of recovering 75% of beverage containers sold in Manitoba. CBCRA implemented and operates the Recycle Everywhere program. Recycle Everywhere also educates Manitobans on beverage container recycling to ensure that it is convenient to recycle empty beverage containers no matter where you live, work, or play just by looking for their blue bins across the province to recycle all your empty cans, cartons, juice boxes, glass and plastic bottles.

“We all have a role to play for a cleaner Manitoba, “states Candace Kunkel, Marketing Coordinator, CBCRA/Recycle Everywhere. “Recycle Everywhere is pleased to partner with Folklorama — the world’s largest- and longest-running multicultural festival — to help ensure every beverage container is properly collected and recycled throughout the two- week event.”

Thank you, Recycle Everywhere, for being an essential part of Folklorama’s green imprint.
