Further improvements are needed in the collection and recycling of aluminium beverage cans despite recycling rates for the cans increasing across the EU,according to the European Aluminium Association(EAA).
The overall recycling rate across the 27 EU countries,EFTA(Norway,Iceland,Switzerland,Liechtenstein),and Turkey increased from 63.1% to 64.3% in 2009 but despite the increase, chairman of the EAA packaging group Laurent Musy has called for better recycling practice and more focused collection schemes in order to meet the ambitious targets for can recycling.
