Steel for Packaging Europe, established in 1986 and formerly known as APEAL, represents the 5 major European producers of packaging steel - Acciaierie d’Italia in A.S., ArcelorMittal, Tata Steel, thyssenkrupp Rasselstein and U.S. Steel Košice.
Steel offers a strong, safe and versatile solution for the secure packaging of food and other goods. It also plays a vital role in preserving food without need for refrigeration, extending shelf life for up to 5 years and reducing waste.
Circular by nature, 78.5% of used steel packaging is recycled in Europe, with 100% reborn as new steel products.

- Contribute positively to the development of EU policy related to steel for packaging, particularly in the areas of waste, recycling and recovery
