They also manufacture a range of round and rectangular slip lid CD tins for major trade suppliers in the metal packaging market.

Cost Versus Recyclability
Visiongain: What would you say are the key trends and developments in the global metal packaging market and why?
A leading market expert: Increase in fuel costs and most importantly confusion concerning drivers that makes supermarkets choose their materials on basis of cost, products that can be recycled and light weighing. Metals clearly are the most advantageous for environmental sustainability but lose its battle to Tetra Pak on cost.

Ubiquitous Tetra Pak cannot be recycled which is why it ends up in a landfill site where all non-perishable waste is laid on the ground and covered with earth for nature to takes its course. However, as you might expect, total decomposition of Tetra Pak waste never happens as heaps and heaps of new waste is dumped every year in landfill sites. Local councils in the UK do not have facilities to recycle Tetra Pak due to its combination of paper and aluminium used.

A key development in the global packaging market is reduction in weight of metal cans. Continuous research and development in this area will result in lighter weighing cans which will further reduce the waste and increase its sustainability.
