This is good news for local area economy. However,  there are environmental concerns related to the product they make. 450 million beer container handles a year. Wow! Hopefully they won't wind up in landfills or local land, rivers and streams. Maybe PakTech could be encouraged to set up a recycle program locally. Team up with Bottle Drop as a recycle center. And the big question,  can all or part of the product be remanufactured?
