Water in recycled aluminium bottles provided at G7 summit Spring water bottled in 100% recycled aluminium by company Re:Water was pro- vided to delegates at the G7 summit from 11-13 June in Cornwall, UK. Using recycled aluminium creates 95% fewer carbon emissions compared to new aluminium. The English pure spring water is bottled at source in Herefordshire and the bottles can be refilled, reused and recycled. Research has shown that by refilling and reusing just 2.5 times, the added carbon emissions needed to create the Re:Water bottle are offset. Additionally, it is a one- piece material product, meaning it is easy to recycle at roadside recycling points. Prior to the summit, environment min- isters of the G7 countries issued a state- ment saying they are committed to pro- tecting the land and the ocean and to slow biodiversity loss by 2030.

Steel packaging recycling Experts urge UK government to hits highest rate in Europe follow Danish DRS model

Some 25 experts have urged the UK govern- ment to introduce a deposit return scheme (DRS) for drinks containers, which mirrors Denmark’s system. The experts believe Denmark’s scheme, which uses a variable deposit model inclusive of all materials including glass, plastic, and alu- minium, will best tackle the UK’s waste crisis. Writing in an open letter, cross-party poli- ticians, NGOs, and academics said the UK’s DRS should follow the same model, with the country boasting high redemption rates for drinks containers. The UK government is currently consulting on the design of a nationwide DRS, with the scheme set to be introduced across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland in 2024. The brainchild of environment campaign group Nature 2030, the letter highlights the extremely high redemption rate for drinks containers in Denmark – as high as 93%. Denmark’s scheme implements a variable fee based on the size and material of different containers. In Copenhagen, a shopper purchasing a small plastic bottle of cola pays a higher Recycling of steel packaging in Europe has landfill.

If the UK government listens to public demand, this will see the inclusion of drinks containers made from glass, plastic, and importantly, aluminium. The letter has gained cross-party political support including from Conservative MP and former Minister of State for International Development, Sir Desmond Swayne, former leader of the Green Party Caroline Lucas MP, and former Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and Labour MP John McDonell. Supporters believe that with Denmark hav- ing a track record in fine-tuning its own DRS scheme to be as effective as possible, the UK has a ready-made roadmap to follow when implementing its own.

As the industry pushes for faster speeds, thinner gauges and more exotic cans, lubricants will need to evolve to keep pace with these process changes. This may involve a paradigm shift in lubricant formulation theory. What would you like to see achieved in this industry over the next five years?

These dialogues are helping to reposition canned food products as a sustainable alternative for a healthy lifestyle. Food processors are also helping to spread this message by using social media to showcase the ingredients and recipes possible with canned goods. “Canned food producers are trying to prolong this trend and convert it from a short-lived Covid-19 induced phenomenon to a long-term consumer purchas- ing habit,” said Bassari. Premium lines respond to the diverse needs of consumers Family-owned and operated, Sprague Foods in Ontario, Canada, was founded by Grant Sprague in 1925. This fifth-generation company entered the market when Canadian canning was boom- ing, with 75 canneries in the region of Prince Edward County alone. The company entered the canning industry by processing local tomatoes and pumpkin. This quickly expanded to include

corn, tomato juice, tomato puree and raspberries. Over the years, this local canning company has made several evolutions from copacker to where it is today; a company committed to providing innovative recipes in response to an evolving customer base. “We’ve always tried to keep a step ahead of the market by constantly innovating, and that’s taken the form of developing more value-added products and capitalising on emerging trends,” said Keenan Sprague, director of business devel- opment, Sprague Foods.

This sector of the population is looking for more than just convenience in their canned goods. They are label readers, looking for identifiable ingredients and affirmations that these are products that align with their values, including organic certification. “There seems to have been a huge shift, with consumers moving towards more plant-based diets with meat substitutes increasingly being used,” said Fell. “Products like jack fruit and banana blossoms, which only a few months ago were fairly unknown, are becoming very popular and in some regions are only available in cans.” Metal packaging for several vegetarian or vegan foods, such as pulses and lentils, is more convenient than the dried version, as it dramati- cally decreases the preparation time. The interest in plant-based diets has provided momentum for canned food products; however, today, it extends beyond legumes, inviting consumers to explore Erica Wanjo and Amanda Hallett - Soup - Sprague Foods other products.

An iconic example of the use of this technology was the introduction of the mini beer keg by Heineken in 1999. The technology was developed first by the French company Tecsor and further completed by can maker Impress from 2005 to 2006. A striking example of this is the Heinz brand Karvan Cevitam, packaged in such a can since 2007. And there are many more examples, based on different transforming technologies. It starts with a special design and perfect tooling, says tool supplier Wallram Wallram Group has made the production of precision tools, mainly for the metal packaging industry, as its core business. Jürgen Seel, vice president at the company, based in Herborn, Germany and Mike Simonson, vice president of Wallram LPT, based in Colorado Springs, USA, give us their insights.

What would you describe as the most important innovations in the last few years, or maybe in the near future, in shaping and embossing? Simonson: “As a toolmaker, the processing machine equipment, software and abrasive technologies are being challenged to yield the products needed. We continue to develop and invest in equipment to meet these needs. Often it is not the eye-catching design that challenges, but rather small special effects that have to be produced in thin walls and at high speeds. Therefore, a small variation on an aluminium beverage can is more demanding than a special Wallram shape tooling shape on a tube.’’ In line with all the high expectations by market researchers and for instance the, very high expectations presented by the Crown board on their recent Investors Day, Wallram is quite optimistic about the development of the metal packaging market, in particular the market for beverage cans.” Seel: “In particular, the emergence of the craft beer and also non-alcoholic drinks trend in smaller quantities led to a stronger focus on the individualisation of the product also in the beverage industry. Shaping and embossing is an interesting topic here, as a unique brand image is more important than the manufacturing price of the can.’’ Wallram obviously has the strong belief to be able to maintain and extend their fair share in this booming market by its huge know-how and Wallram tool combination experience in can tooling.
