Protect your product

Metal is one of the most durable and robust packaging materials. It protects your contents from contamination, spoilage and damage – all while being conveniently lightweight.

By providing a superior barrier against UV, oxygen and harmful bacteria, metal extends the shelf life of food items, significantly reducing waste. It also locks in essential nutrients and maintains food quality at its peak.

Preserve our planet

Metal recycles forever. But some materials, like plastics, can only be recycled a limited number of times before they degrade and have to be permanently discarded.

Other types of packaging, like brick or liquid cartons, are composites made up of different types of materials. Even though each component can technically be recycled, it is virtually impossible or not economically viable to separate and recycle the individual components.

Circular economy
Metal enables a circular economy by remaining in the loop and reducing the need for virgin material. This saves a huge 95% of energy during manufacturing.

Metal also has one of the highest recycling rates when compared to other materials. High recyclability and high recycling rates are both needed for circularity – and a healthy environment.
