Has aluminum packaging become a new trend?

Since its inception, plastic has played a great role as a packaging material, bringing great convenience to people's lives and economic development, but its shortcomings are poorly recyclable and regenerative, and its degradation in the natural environment is extremely slow. With the development of the economy, the society accumulates more and more plastic packaging products, resulting in serious environmental pollution, endangering the safety of marine organisms, offshore pollution is particularly serious, the harm to people's lives, and the production of plastics is still increasing rapidly, so it is particularly important to take measures to replace some of the plastics with green materials.

 

 

In recent years, there has been a focus on changing packaging materials to reduce their environmental impact and appeal to a growing number of consumers. A striking metallic material - aluminium, the most common natural metal on earth - has become the new choice for everyone.

 

Aluminium is a green material, an excellent material for the manufacture of bottles, cans and other packaging products, with many advantages, and a material that can partially replace plastic today and in the future. The advantage of aluminium packaging over plastic packaging is that it is infinitely recyclable. Even if plastic is recycled, it will eventually reach a state where it needs to be incinerated or landfilled. Unlike plastic, which begins to degrade almost immediately after production, aluminium retains its quality indefinitely, no matter how many times it is recycled.

 

When it comes to aluminum bottles & aluminum cans, it can not only block such as air, oxygen, water vapour, carbon dioxide and other gases, but also shading, especially blocking ultraviolet light, so it will not cause moisture, deterioration, corruption and discolouration of the contents as well as changes in the aroma. Again, aluminum bottle generally have a beautiful metallic luster, coupled with colourful graphic printing, adding to the beauty of the goods. With regard to the health and safety of aluminum bottle, due to the use of appropriate coatings, there is an internal coating, so that metal packaging cans fully meet the requirements of food containers on health and safety.

 

Replacing plastic with aluminium in the packaging sector for beverage bottles is a slow process, and aluminium use in this area is sure to rise, and at the same time grow much faster in the future than it has done so far and in the past. Because this is a huge market, a small change, will trigger a significant rise in demand, the many advantages of aluminium, in particular, can be recycled countless times and the advantages of lower scrap prices for its replacement of plastic to create a very good premise. As a green material, aluminium plays an important role in replacing plastic beverage bottles and packaging materials, and will open up another new era for beverage bottles and packaging materials.
