Program Recognition

A model for industry-managed stewardship programs.

The advent of the Alberta Dairy Council's Plastic Milk Jug Recycling Program in 1999 broke new ground in environmental stewardship, creating the most comprehensive voluntary program for used milk jugs in North America. And despite developments in other jurisdictions since that time, it remains a model for industry-managed stewardship programs.

Since its inception, the Milk Container Recycling Program has been recognized for outstanding achievement in a number of areas.
