According to new report from Beverage Can Makers Europe (BCME) as some 60 billion of aluminium cans were produced in 2013 throughout Europe for growth of 3% compared to the previous year.
Nearly 20% of Europe's beer market relies on aluminium as a packaging material. 'This was only 14% at the start of the century,' BCME observes. 'Strong growth' in exports is believed to have been a main factor in the can production increase.
The 'continual improvement' in recycling rates across Europe is further confirmation that consumers are responding well to industry programmes which promote a recycling culture such as 'Every Can Counts'.
