Mission• We will bring together producers of metal packaging and metal supliers to optimize the conditions for metal packaging in Europe from a legal, environmental and social perspective.

• By a proactive approach, we will engage with stakeholders to create a positive mindset and recognition of metal packaging by enhancing its specific contribution to sustainability.

Objectives A level playing field for metal packaging in Europe with

harmonized and non discriminatory EU-regulation, national legislation, soft law and standards.

A recognized position as the preferred packaging option in the packmix to meet sustainability objectives in the supply chain.

Priorities• APPRECIATION– Metals as permanent material. Optain

official and public recognition at EU, national level and in supply chain scorecards – Metal is Forever!

• NATIONAL COORDINATION - Improve intelligence, lobbying and coordinated actions at national level.

• INCREASE RECYCLING – Take advantage of metals unique advantages to deliver on resource conservation and climate change policies by focusing on high recycling performance

The Manifesto

• An unified sector makes stronger commitments.

• Decoupling market growth from resource use.

• No metal packaging should go to landfill.

• Keep all metal packaging in the material loop.

• 80% of metal packaging will be recycled 2020.

• Reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts by dedicated programs and commitments in steel and aluminum production.

Metal Packaging in Policy

Metal packaging need to be properly positioned in ”Responsible Resource Management” policy.

Metals should be recognized as permanent materials with infinite recycling possibilities, preserving virgin metal qualities and with unlimited availability for future generations.

False PerceptionThe polarization of material categories into renewable and non renewable is misleading and not helpful. Statements claiming that non renewable materials are gone, once used, is false in the case of metals.

Recycling Society

Metal Packaging Europe support the concept of zero waste to landfill and believe in fostering a recycling society by engaging all stakeholders.

The vision is to have 100% of metal packaging recycled and we have set 80% as a target for 2020

Recycling Reduces CO2

Due to the overall limited availability of metal scrap, any attempt to increase the recycled content in one particular product would just result in decreasing the recycling content accordingly in another.

It would also certainly result in inefficiency in the global optimization of the scrap market, as well as wasting transportation energy.

The focus should be on having all metals collected after use for recycling – a HIGH RECYCLING RATE brings benefits.

Recycled content – No benefit

Metal is Forever

Metal has many

applications Abundant

supplies of ore exist which

extracted once, are permanently

available and infinitely

recyclable

Metal packaging contributes to

society and every lifestyle
