5 October 2018 – CM Consulting is pleased to announce the release of the 2018 Who Pays What report. Now in its 9th edition, this report has proven to be an invaluable tool for government officials and those in the beverage industry and recycling sectors seeking to understand how beverage container collection programs work, how their performance is measured, and how they are financed. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview and analysis of program performance and system costs, this report delves into the economic and environmental benefits of beverage container reuse and recycling, including avoided GHG emissions and municipal cost savings. Recycling processes, end-markets, and the use of recycled content are also discussed.
