Michelob ULTRA to launch low-carbon aluminium cans over coming months
The United States’ Michelob ULTRA will roll out low-carbon aluminium cans over coming months. The company will distribute more than 2.5 million cans through a partnership between Anheuser-Busch and Rio Tinto.
In October 2020, Rio Tinto and Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) formed a global partnership to deliver a new standard of sustainable aluminium cans, committing to work with supply chain partners to bring AB InBev products to market in cans made from low-carbon aluminium. These cans will reduce carbon emissions of more than 30 percent per can.
Rio Tinto provides aluminium to Anheuser-Busch from its ELYSIS joint venture, a disruptive zero carbon aluminium smelting technology.

Around 70 percent of the aluminium used in AB InBev cans produced is recycled content. This recycled content with low-carbon aluminium will minimize the carbon emissions in its packaging supply chain.
