The Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative is the industry steward of that state’s nationally recognized beverage container redemption program, helping discharge the responsibilities of beverage companies in complying with the state’s bottle deposit law. They have also started to collect and process refillable beer bottles to get them back to a consortium of Oregon brewers for washing and refilling. Host Matt Prindiville sits down with Jules Bailey, President and CEO of the OBRC, to dive deep into the details of how the cooperative works—and how it can serve as a model service provider for the New Reuse Economy—all with a focus on convenience for the consumer.
