Steel
Two of the earth’s readily abundant resources, iron ore and coal, are required to make steel.
Steel is the most recycled packaging material in Europe and globally. Every tonne of recycled steel packaging saves the environment 1.28 tonnes of solid waste, 40% of water and 84% of the energy needed to produce new steel packaging.
The recycling of steel cans also reduces air emissions by 86% and water pollution by 76%.
