Founded during COP28 (Dubai), the Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance is the only multi-stakeholder forum with a global scope, focused on improving the circularity and recycling rates of the aluminium beverage can.
In a sustainability and regulatory dialogue dominated on reducing plastics waste and reusable solutions, GBCCA gives a strong, global and unified voice to the inherent properties and sustainability case of the aluminium beverage can.
The alliance leverages expertise and knowledge from across the aluminium can value chain, from associations to primary and canstock producers, canmakers and brands.
With a vision to achieve 100% recycling rates for Aluminium cans by 2050, GBCCA has an open call to all stakeholders to support this global initiative, gaining access to:
