The second life of an aluminium can depends on one crucial step
Aluminium’s lower-energy recycling process offers a major sustainability benefit, but collection, recovery and credible evidence are needed to turn that potential into measurable results. The challenge extends beyond whether a can is recyclable. It is about keeping aluminium in circulation and demonstrating what happens to it after use. GlobalData’s Q3 2025 survey of 21,000 people across 42 countries offers one indication of the communication challenge: consumers associate metal drinks packaging with sustainability far less often than glass. The survey asked about overall metal packaging. Nonetheless, the findings are relevant to aluminium, a major material in beverage packaging. Only 21 per cent of respondents considered metal a sustainable choice for alcoholic drinks packaging, while 22...
The 4th European Green Aluminium Summit 2026
ECV International is pleased to announce that the 4th European Green Aluminium Summit 2026 will take place on November 18–19, 2026, in Frankfurt, Germany. The summit will bring together over 100 senior decision-makers from across the aluminium value chain to address the industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon future. As Europe accelerates its path toward climate neutrality by 2050, the aluminium sector faces mounting pressure from the EU’s Fit-for-55 framework, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), volatile energy markets, and tightening sustainability requirements. At the same time, aluminium remains indispensable for decarbonising mobility, packaging, construction, and aerospace, thanks to its lightweight properties and infinite...
