According to the latest figures from APEAL, the body responsible for supporting steel as a sustainable and resource efficient packaging solution, recycling of metal packaging across Europe has hit a new high of 82.5%. This confirms that steel packaging continues to be the most recycled packaging material putting it at the forefront in the move to create a fully circular economy.
The new milestone means that 8 out of every 10 tins or cans are now recycled across Europe, saving a whopping 4 million tonnes of CO2, the equivalent to taking 870,000 cars off the road each year.
