Amcor launches its premium tin capsules and sparkling foil, now with more than 90% recycled tin
Description
Amcor now integrates more than 90% recycled tin into its premium tin capsules and sparkling foils range.
This recycled content, sourced from Europe, comes from pre and post-consumers sourcing schemes. After recycling, the tin material is adapted and re-used for capsules and capping purposes.
The integration of recycled content into its tin capsules enables Amcor Capsules to reduce the carbon emissions of its products by up to 70%* (cradle to gate), with a certified level of GHG emissions reduced to 1.6 tons of CO2e per ton of tin, in comparison with the global average at 6.6 tons of CO2e** per ton of tin.
The integration of pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled tin does not change the production process nor the lead time and quality of the final products, ensuring consistency for our customers.
