Why Aluminium?
As a permanent material, aluminium has excellent environmental credentials. Permanent means that a material can be recycled infinitely. When an aluminium product reaches the end of its useful life, the material is simply collected and recycled, again and again, with no loss of its inherent properties and so will always be available for future generations. It is clear that permanent materials play an essential role in a ‘circular economy’ if we want to leave our planet for future generations. Recycling aluminium packaging enables us to turn waste into new products and use our resources efficiently.

Aluminum Can Advantage
Key Sustainability Performance Indicators for the Aluminum Can
Aluminum cans are the most sustainable beverage package on virtually every measure. Aluminum cans have a higher recycling rate and more recycled content than competing package types. They are lightweight, stackable and strong, allowing brands to package and transport more beverages using less material. And aluminum cans are far more valuable than glass or plastic, helping make municipal recycling programs financially viable and effectively subsidizing the recycling of less valuable materials in the bin.
Most of all, aluminum cans are recycled over and over again in a true "closed loop" recycling process. Glass and plastic are typically "down-cycled" into products like carpet fiber or landfill liner.
