Reusing aluminum cans can be a great economic opportunity. In addition to being able to create fully sustainable products, recycling these cans helps increase recycling rates, supports Extended Producer Responsibility policies and other responsible systems, and even enables the implementation of innovative and cost-effective systems for consumer collection.
In addition, it can also be highlighted as a benefit to invest in the creation of environmentally friendly infrastructures to promote recycling and not only limit itself to collection. It is important to educate consumers about what it means to be a truly sustainable society, in addition to accurate and transparent measurement of the impact of products that may be infinitely recyclable.
True circularity is about constantly recovering and reusing materials without wasting anything in the process. “At Ball, we are just starting on the road to a new, sustainable economy. Our goal is to work with suppliers, customers, governments and other stakeholders to achieve this,” said the multinational.
Work is underway to create a global plan for recycling that will help reduce carbon emissions and meet targets of zero net emissions and a maximum increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius in the industry. It will also seek to promote policies to achieve a 90 percent recovery rate for recycled aluminum.
“Collaborate with our supply chain partners to achieve an average of 85% recycled content in aluminum cans used for beverages. Today, the pollution crisis caused by packaging is getting worse every day. At Ball Company, we are committed to taking steps to move towards a circular economy where materials can be used repeatedly to reduce environmental impact.” they added.
