Three Key Strategies to Reduce Carbon Footprint in Metal Packaging

Posted 2024-03-28

 

In a time when environmental accountability is imperative, Emballator continues to tackle challenges within the metal packaging sector. Our dedication to reducing the carbon footprint linked with metal packaging goes beyond mere words, as we offer tangible and inventive solutions for our customers. Here, we outline three key strategies specifically focusing on metal packaging.

Precise Material Optimisation for Enhanced Sustainability

Material optimisation is a cornerstone in our strategy to directly reduce the carbon footprint of metal packaging. By closely collaborating with our customers, we ensure the selection of specifications tailored to their unique requirements while maintaining the fundamental purpose of packaging – protecting the contents. This meticulous approach not only improves the efficiency of metal packaging but also significantly contributes to reducing our climate footprint.

Leading the Charge in Sustainable Steel Production for Tinplate Packaging

As we move towards carbon neutrality, we actively support initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint. We can offer tinplate packaging incorporating high-quality steel scrap in the blast furnace. This progressive approach results in tinplate with an impressive 64% lower emissions than conventional steel, maintaining the same high-quality standards.

Maximising Indirect CO2e Savings in Steel Plants for Enhanced Flexibility

Emballator also collaborates with steel plants to increase indirect CO2-equivalent (CO2e) savings. Our Steel suppliers are increasingly adopting renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, for electrification, leading to substantial reductions in their overall carbon footprint.

By choosing Emballator metal packaging solutions, customers not only benefit from premium quality packaging, but also actively contribute to a more sustainable future for the metal packaging industry.

In conclusion: Through precise material optimisation, leading sustainable steel production practices, and strategic utilisation of renewable energy sources, we empower our customers to make environmentally conscious choices without compromising on performance. Together, we pave the way for a more sustainable future within metal packaging.
