Recyclability - Sustainability

Aluminium & Tinplate are readily recycled and have been for many years through a well established collection and recycling infrastructure. UK recycling targets have been consistently met and supporting data, together with associated information, can be found on the following websites:

www.alupro.org.uk (Aluminium)
www.scrib.org.uk (Steel Can Recycling Information Bureau)

Both Aluminium and Tinplate can be recycled and re-used time and time again!

Technical innovation also continues to contribute to metal’s “green credentials” through down-gauging and structure design initiatives.

As well as leading the way in the recycling of packaging, metal also provides other packaging benefits in terms of long term storage of food and other products reducing the need for unnecessary waste going to landfill.
