05 Jul 2024 --- UK recycling firm Suez has signed a two-year partnership with aluminum packaging company Alupro to increase aerosol recycling rates in the UK. The venture will collect data throughout the country and establish education programs to aid consumers with disposal and establish a baseline target for national kerbside collection. Alupro estimates that 650 million metal aerosols are used in the UK each year, with over 80% used in the home. Upcoming reforms to packaging recycling in the UK, including a deposit return scheme (DRS) for drinks containers and an extended producer responsibility (EPR), present an opportunity for the metal packaging sector to improve recycling efforts, the company says.
