Many Mississippians will soon reap the benefits of state-of-the-art recycling upgrades at a facility in neighboring Tennessee. This modernization is key to processing much of Northern Mississippi’s recyclable materials, including the beverage industry’s bottles and cans that are carefully designed to be 100% recyclable. More than 400,000 residents will see improved recycling access because of this upgrade.

In December, the West Tennessee Regional Recycling Hub in Henderson, Tenn., will begin installing robotic sorters to speed up the sorting process, enabling even more materials to be recycled. The modernization is thanks to an investment from the beverage industry’s Every Bottle Back initiative.
