More than five years after it set out to reduce waste, MillerCoors announced that its major breweries are now landfill-free. The company said Wednesday its brewery in Fort Worth, Texas, has achieved that status — it's MillerCoors' eighth and final major brewery that now reuse or recycle nearly 100 percent of the waste they generate. That means no glass, paperboard, plastics or metal waste are sent to landfills. Any remaining nonreusable or recyclable brewery waste is sent to a waste-to-energy facility, which has now become a standard practice across MillerCoors.

"As we continue our journey to brew a sustainable future, maintaining landfill-free operations at all our major breweries will make a significant impact," said Kim Marotta, director of sustainability at MillerCoors. The environmental initiative began in 2009, when the company set out to reduce brewery waste by 15 percent by 2015.
