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...

US aluminum tariffs push Canadian beer can costs up nearly 13%
US tariffs on aluminum are raising the cost of beer cans in Canada, putting pressure on breweries that rely on a closely linked cross-border supply chain. Walkerville Brewery in Windsor, Ontario, have so far avoided passing the higher costs on to customers. However, owner Mike Brkovich said the brewery may have to raise prices in the next three or four months as costs continue to increase. He said, “We’re going to have to increase the prices, I think, in the next three or four months. But we’re trying to hold the prices.” One of the clearest impacts is on aluminum cans. Brkovich said the cost of a 473 ml beer can has increased from around 31 cents to 35 cents following the tariff changes. Walkerville Brewery uses about 40,000 cans a month and buys them from a Canadian supplier. To learn...
