Metal Packaging
made from aluminium or steel, is used throughout the retail, wholesale, commercial and industrial sectors. It comes in many shapes and sizes and can package virtually any
product

Benefits of Metal Packaging
Up to 2.000/min beverage cans (120.000/hour)
Up 10.000 (80gr) cans into 1 cubic metre
Average distribution within 250 km radius
No need for heating or refrigeration

Sustainability of Metal Packaging
Managing resources responsibly and efficiently is always been top priority for metal packaging industry
No metal packaging
should go to landfill
1 tonne of recycled steel scrap saves over 2 tonnes of
raw material
Recycling 1 tonne of metal scrap uses up to 95% less energy than
making 1 tonne of metal from raw material

Metal packaging recycles forever
When metal products reach the end of their useful life, the materials are collected and recycled with no loss of their inherent properties.
This is known as real recycling
Up to 80% of all metal ever produced
in the world is still available for use
We are committed to an average European metal packaging recycling rate
of 80% by 2020
In 2017, 80.5% of steel packaging and 74.5% of aluminium beverage cans are recycled in Europe, making metal packaging the most
recycled packaging

Metals are permanent materials
A permanent material is a material whose inherent properties do not change during use and despite repeated recycling into new products

Metal packaging: a good example of the Circular Economy
The material is never lost and through recycling its value is retained forever, making it available today and for future generations

2016 Life Cycle Assessment of (non-beverage) metal packaging
Average repartition of Climate Change impact: • 70.0% metal production (including recycling benefit) • 19.1% manufacturing stage (MPE members) • 4.2% production of other raw materials • 2.8% secondary and tertiary packaging • 2.5% transport to fillers • 1.4% transport to can-makers
Key parameters responsible for impact reduction: • Reduction of can’s weight • Increased consumption of renewable
energy at can-making • Increased recycling rate
