Half a Billion Aerosol Cans Recycled
DeSpray Environmental, a leading company in the aerosol recycling technology, has announced a major achievement.
“The combined efforts of DeSpray cofounders Mike MacKay and Eelco Osse, over the last 25 years, have resulted in 560 million + aerosol cans being 100 percent recycled and removed from the waste stream,“ the company pointed out. This accomplishment would highlight DeSpray’s commitment to environmental sustainability and its success in pioneering advanced recycling technologies. “These ongoing efforts are currently responsible for 260 cans per second and rising with every DeSpray system that is commissioned.” According to the information, the firm’s half of a billion milestone of recycled aerosols “is more than a numerical achievement. It represents a steadfast commitment to reducing the environmental impact of aerosol waste, which has otherwise been unchecked. As DeSpray continues to innovate this technology and expand its influence, it remains focused on leading the industry towards a more sustainable future.”
