The GHG emissions related to our products’ full life cycle
are based on several factors:
GHG emissions related to metal production and its end of life
The quantity of material used (metal, inks, coatings, compounds)
The secondary packaging
The transportation from our suppliers and to our customers
Metal is a permanent material which is infinitely recyclable and efficiently recycled, for the most optimised end of life.
A permanent material is one whose inherent properties do not change during use and despite repeated recycling into new products, its recycling doesn’t necessarily require the addition of primary material or additives to enable the basic material function and properties.
• Steel is the most recycled material in the world.
• In Europe 85.5% of steel packaging is currently recycled.
• It is estimated that the recycled content rate of steel packaging in Europe is 58% of steel for packaging produced in Europe.
We are working with local suppliers and keeping production close to our customers to reduce the transportation-related GHG emissions of our products.
We aim to accelerate the downgauging of our product lines to reduce the quantity of metal used while preserving the integrity of our packaging. We also aim to reduce secondary packaging to a minimum and reuse it as much as possible.
