Beverage can manufacturer Ball Packaging Europe has succeeded in reducing the weight of 33cl aluminium cans to just under 9.5g.
This quantum leap in lightweighting will significantly reduce beverage cans’ ecological footprint.
The seemingly minor drop in weight will have major effects. Assuming that Ball switches the production for all of its third-of-a-litre cans to the new ultra-light variant, it can save roughly 6,000 metric tonnes of aluminium each year.
