Beverage Disposal is Inevitable – Do It the Right Way

Let’s face it: At some point your company may have to collect and dispose of unsaleable product. Whether it’s due to a product recall or an out-of-season beer, knowing the process of responsible beverage disposal can save you time, money, and a big hassle down the road—not to mention your industry reputation.

With so many things to consider, how do you know where to begin?

Reclaim those products

As obvious as it sounds, you first need to locate and reclaim all the product as quickly as possible. Addressing the issue immediately can eliminate the risk of a compromised product staying in the marketplace or your supply chain; not to mention the product getting into the wrong hands and ending up on the black market.

Recycle everything

Once the product is reclaimed, it’s time to clean and recycle the bottles, cans and product packaging itself. This eliminates additional waste ending up in landfills, and allows manufacturers to recycle packaging from your unsaleable product into materials for future use within the industry. You’ll not only be saving the environment, but you may even be able to claim tax benefits and rebates. It’s a silver lining not everyone is aware of.

Dispose of the beverage mindfully

You may be wondering what happens to the beverage itself? If you’re thinking it gets poured down the drain, think again. By following an environmentally-friendly process, special recycling facilities can turn the unsellable beverage into “gray water.” It may not sound palatable, but it’s perfect for non-potable ecological uses and maintains the integrity of our water supplies.
