Oregon’s bottle deposit system is recycling more containers than ever before despite major disruptions in global recycling markets.
Last year, Oregon recycled 90 percent of the beverage containers covered by its bottle deposit system. The rate has jumped from 64 percent just two years ago and the total number of bottles recycled reached an all-time high of 2 billion in 2018.
