IAI’s latest factsheet, “Can-to-Can Recycling: Performance, Potential and Pathways”, explores how aluminium beverage cans outperform other beverage containers in circularity, and what steps are needed to achieve full closed-loop recycling.
Our report highlights how smart alloy design, clean recycling streams and better infrastructure can prevent material loss – turning aluminium cans into a blueprint for true circularity.

Aluminium beverage cans are a true symbol of circularity, endlessly recyclable without losing quality. Our latest fact sheet explores how alloy design, process control and advanced recycling turn used cans back into new ones again and again. By combining precise metallurgy with efficient scrap sorting and delacquering, metal recovery improves ...
Eunomia was commissioned by the Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance (GBCCA) to calculate the collected for recycling and recycling rates for aluminium cans, PET bottles, and glass bottles across global markets. Conducted in 2025 as the first in a three-year series, the research captured data representing 90% of the global market ...
In 2022, the IAI published Guidelines on Transparency that state that when reporting the cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of products that contain scrap there should be full transparency on the methodology used for the carbon footprint calculation. This reference document, summarising three potential approaches, should serve aluminium producers to disclose the methodology they ...
