Recycling

80.5% of steel for packaging and 76.1% of aluminium beverage cans are recycled in Europe, making metal packaging the most recycled packaging. (Source Steel for Packaging Europe & Metal Packaging Europe)

In the UK, 78.3% of steel packaging and 58.6% of aluminium packaging cans are recycled (Source Defra 2023)

A 100% recycling rate for metal is a very real possibility.

It is estimated around 75% of all metal ever produced in the world is still available for use.
