Theatre : Sustainability and Circular Economy
Designed to be applicable across a broad range of products, the current waste hierarchy fails to encapsulate packaging’s full sustainability attributes and contribution to the Circular Economy.
Over simplification has led to flawed policy decisions creating a genuine case for a new approach specifically adapted to the packaging sector.
Aluminium cans are highly recyclable and widely recycled already in the UK, achieving an 82% recycling rate for 2021, but there are more challenges that need addressing to achieve holistic…
Metals are at the very heart of modern society. Nothing is made without metals being part of the process, product or solution. In the face of the very real climate…
