Benefits of metal packaging
Metal beverage packaging is universally recognised for its protective qualities, versatility and environmental credentials. Metal is a permanent material, meaning it can be infinitely recycled without any loss of quality. Metal beverage cans are one of the most recycled drinks package in the world, contributing to a circular economy.
Metal can packaging offers versatility, unlimited design and brand building opportunities like no other material and is used across the world in many market sectors. Constantly evolving production technologies are used to ensure exciting possibilities and environmental sustainability in metal beverage packaging for the future.
Benefits of glass packaging
Glass packaging protects its content and enhances a brand’s appeal. As a permanent material glass is 100% and infinitely recyclable, making it the perfect packaging choice for products today and in the future. Ardagh produces distinctive and innovative glass packaging in all shapes and sizes for the world’s leading brands and offers a choice of almost 20 different colours.
Being infinitely recyclable, a glass bottle or jar can be made into a new one over and over again, with no loss in quality or purity. Making new glass bottles and jars from recycled glass reduces the amount of energy needed in the production process and lowers emissions into the atmosphere.
