Georgia Non-Profit to Receive Funding from American Beverage to Increase Recycling Efforts

American Beverage has announced it is funding a DeKalb County, Georgia non-profit to help improve area recycling efforts.

Live Thrive, a non-profit that runs a Center for Hard to Recycle Materials, is receiving $25,000 in grant funding from American Beverage. The funding will go towards getting new equipment for the center to increase how much material can be recycled in the facility.

“The investment in DeKalb County embodies Georgia Beverage Association’s continued effort to invest in Georgia’s environmental future,” Kevin Perry, president and CEO of the Georgia Beverage Association said. 

“We are proud to support Live Thrive and its mission to create a community that prioritizes a healthier and more sustainable ecosystem for recyclable goods.”

“We are excited to support DeKalb County’s efforts to make recycling more effective and easier for people to take part in,” Kevin Keane, president and CEO of American Beverage, said.

“Investments like this help create a circular economy for all recyclable materials, including our bottles and cans, and modernized recycling systems will reduce the use of new plastic.”
