Ball鋁杯®宣布於紅岩露天劇場安裝循環回收自動售貨機（RVM）
科羅拉多州布魯姆菲爾德，2023年10月25日 – 美通社 – Ball Aluminum Cups®（紐約證交所代碼：BALL）與丹佛藝術場館管理公司今日宣布，於紅岩露天劇場頂層廣場安裝回收自動販賣機（RVM），以提升場館內鋁製品回收率。 該設備已於2023年10月2日啟用，服務期將持續至2023年11月12日。自2021年起，Ball Aluminum Cups®即為紅岩露天劇場及丹佛藝術場館官方永續合作夥伴，透過提供環保飲品容器，每年協助遊客減少數百萬個一次性罐裝、杯裝及瓶裝容器的使用。
Ball，作為全球領先的永續鋁製飲料包裝供應商，與頂尖自動售貨機供應商合作 Cycle，由Recycle Track Systems® (RTS) 提供技術支援為提升紅岩音樂廳的回收率並教育消費者認識使用鋁材的好處，該自動回收機將安裝於現場。訪客可將Ball鋁製杯®、鋁罐或鋁瓶投入機台前方，系統將透過輸送帶進行掃描、壓扁及分類處理。完成分類後，使用者可掃描QR碼參與抽獎，有機會贏得紅岩音樂廳紀念品。
在紅岩露天劇場安裝回收自動販賣機，實現了寶爾公司多項核心目標——激勵回收行為、向消費者傳遞鋁材的永續特性，並透過娛樂活動推動變革，」寶爾鋁杯®總經理暨總裁Emily Fong Mitchell表示。「透過與回收自動販賣機的互動，賓客不僅能積極參與回收行動，更有機會贏得紅岩紀念品，從而提升整體場館體驗。」
回收驗證機的安裝將強化紅岩公園現有的廢棄物分流措施。該園區每年接待逾百萬訪客，致力透過三類垃圾分類系統及員工廢棄物分揀團隊來減少掩埋廢棄物，以提升回收率。每季結束時，回收驗證機將能為紅岩公園提供鋁材回收的數量、種類及總重量等數據指標。
紅岩公園發言人布萊恩·基茨表示：「回收飲料罐機是讓紅岩樂迷參與永續行動的趣味方式。當樂迷理解鋁製飲料杯®具備無限回收價值，並成為實踐回收的夥伴時，我們採用此杯款的效果便最為顯著。」
「在RTS，我們非常興奮能運用Cycle的創新解決方案，於標誌性的紅岩露天劇場推動Ball鋁製杯®回收計畫。」Recycle TrackSystems®執行長葛雷格里·萊蒂耶表示。 「我們的合作不僅止於回收，更在於將永續實踐遊戲化。Cycle讓回收變得便捷，同時吸引並獎勵觀眾參與。雙方攜手展現科技與永續如何融合，為所有人創造難忘體驗，同時為地球帶來積極影響。」
鋁材具有無限可回收性與經濟價值，是最永續的飲料包裝材料。如同鋁罐，鋁杯同樣能輕鬆回收再製。迄今生產的所有鋁材中，仍有75%持續在使用中；鋁罐、鋁杯與鋁瓶經回收後，約60天即可重新上架銷售。 Ball鋁製杯®現採用90%再生材質製成，此回收含量比例為同類飲品包裝之冠，並提供五種不同尺寸選擇。除具備永續性與回收優勢外，鋁製杯身質地輕盈堅固，觸感冰涼舒適，更能提升飲用體驗。
