WHY CANS

  • Aluminum cans are infinitely recyclable in a closed-loop system without a loss in quality.

  • Aluminum cans have a recycling rate of 74%, making them the most recyclable drinks packaging on earth.

  • 75% of aluminum produced is still in productive use today.

  • Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and its recycling efficiency contributes to resource conservation.

  • Aluminum cans not only have high economic value but also contribute to a more sustainable waste management system. The recyclability of aluminum helps in minimizing landfill usage, reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional waste disposal methods.

Environmental Impact and Carbon Reduction:

  • The lightweight nature of aluminum cans reduces transportation-related carbon emissions.

  • Transitioning from glass bottles to aluminum cans yields a remarkable 79% reduction in CO2 emissions.

  • Over 50% of the climate impact from wine arises from packaging and transport, making cans a greener alternative.

  • Recycling aluminum requires only about 5% of the energy needed for primary production.

  • Recycling a can uses 90% less energy than recycling a glass bottle
