Championing Sustainability in Ontario, the 2023 Beer Store Annual Stewardship Report for primary and secondary alcohol packaging, includes details on The Beer Store’s deposit return system for beer containers and the Ontario Deposit Return Program (ODRP) for non-Beer Store listed beer, wine, spirit, and cooler containers.
Highlights of our performance in 2023:
Approximately 1.7 billion alcohol containers are collected from Ontario consumers every year (over 1.2 billion Beer Store containers and over 445 million ODRP containers)
Accepted back more containers for reuse or recycling than were sold in our system in 2023.
98% of all refillable beer bottles sold in Ontario were returned – these bottles are reused an average of 15 times before being recycled into new glass bottles.
