Gutberlet said that in Canada, for example, "they capture bottles and cans and redirect them directly to the beverage industry, thus not wasting these resources." Gutberlet said these organizations contribute "in many different ways, not just by diverting bottles and cans." Chapman said during the research, people around the world were enthusiastic about making a difference for reef sharks.
