BALL LAUNCHES A NEW AEROSOL CAN WITH A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT

The aluminum multinational, Ball Corporation, has just launched new packaging on the market. It is a new aerosol can that will have 50% less carbon footprint than the regular can, thus supporting the company’s 2030 agenda of reducing net zero emissions by 2050.

In this way, aluminum packaging manufacturers have accepted the need that consumers have for a more sustainable future. That is why Ball Aerosol Packaging / the Aluminium Can Company has started to offer popular products with durable certificates for aluminum containers. Instead of destroying the containers, Ball is working hard on the dynamics of finding ways to reuse them. 83% of global consumers believe in the concept and seek brands like yours

The company has also designed the aerosol cans to ensure that it is sustainable by incorporating up to 50% recycled materials in the foils of the new cans. This gives Ball reason to continually support the reduction in energy use and helps with the 16% reduction by 2030.

In addition, Ball is able to significantly reduce packaging weight thanks to its innovative ReAl alloy for the production of impact extruded cans. The new aerosol can is 30% lighter than a standard aluminum can, while fully retaining its strength and structure. Since 2014, more than 2.2 billion ReAl cans have been used worldwide, equivalent to 66,000 tons of CO2e saved.

“We are incredibly excited to bring to market an aluminum aerosol can with half the carbon footprint of a standard can, and we will continue to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation,” says Predrag Ozmo, sustainability manager at manufacturer Ball Aerosol Packaging. “The urgency and benefits of moving toward a circular economy are clear, and aluminum packaging, because it is infinitely recyclable, is the closest to true circularity. We are therefore working with brand owners, industry associations, material recovery facilities (MRFs), re-melters and consumers to raise awareness and increase collection and recycling,” he concludes.
