Whereas, under an investment agreement with Coca-Cola North America, NURRC opened the world's largest bottle-to-bottle recycling plant in Spartanburg in 2009; and
Whereas, at full capacity, the plant can produce approximately one hundred million pounds of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic for reuse each year; and
Whereas, the plant has had a significant impact on recycling efforts in the City of Spartanburg through iRecycle, a school recycling program launched in area schools to educate students about recycling and encourage them to begin recycling at home and school; and
Whereas, expanding its curbside recycling program with the addition of single stream rolling carts, the City of Spartanburg will unite with Coca-Cola Recycling, Coca-Cola of Spartanburg, and NURRC to inaugurate an incentive program to encourage residents to recycle properly; and
Whereas, a long-standing market leader in commercializing PET beverage containers made from recycled content, the Coca-Cola Company has been investing in the technology since 1988 and is currently using recycled PET in nearly twenty markets; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives are grateful for the significant contributions to our State made by Coca-Cola Recycling , Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, and their one thousand three hundred thirty-eight employees statewide. Now, therefore,
