Why steel for packaging?

For a more circular economy. Helping brands and retailers achieve their sustainability objectives
and offering consumers clarity and confidence in an eco-friendly packaging choice.

Recycling champion

Europe has been recycling steel for a long time,
so infrastructure is well established and highly efficient.

Magnetic separation

Unique magnetic properties mean that steel is easy
to recover from any waste stream by using a magnet.

Reducing food waste

Steel packaging contributes to reducing
food waste and spoilage.

No extra additives

Food packaged in steel has equivalent vitamin content to freshly prepared,
without needing additives or preserving agents.
