Evaluation of the economics of PET, aluminium and glass beverage containers in 2021 and the impact of carbon taxes.
The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) engaged Wood Mackenzie to evaluate the economics of PET, aluminium and glass beverage containers in 2021 and the impact of carbon taxes. The study considered the costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at each stage of the value chain for each material in each region.
The key objectives of the study were to understand the relative cost-competitiveness of PET, aluminium and glass beverage containers in the US, Western Europe (EU15, EFTA countries) and China, and the sensitivity of the economics to different recycled content and carbon tax.
