In 2023 the UK collected and recycled more aluminium packaging than ever before. According to annual data published on the National Packaging Waste Database by the Environment Agency, the UK’s aluminium packaging recycling rate hit an impressive 68% in 2023. A record-breaking 162,357 tonnes were recycled nationwide, including more than four in five beverage cans (81%). Despite a rapidly growing domestic market, aluminium packaging collected through kerbside, bring and on-the-go systems increased by 13% year-on-year (115,382, compared to 102,195 in 2022). Elsewhere, tonnage recovered from incinerator bottom ash (IBA) shot up by 17% (45,632 compared to 38,982).

Fantastic to see Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation Ltd (Alupro) member Speira make a big investment into European aluminium supply by boosting recycling capacity. Let's get on with implementing a well-designed deposit return scheme in the UK, following from the success of the Irish system, to feed the smelter with millions more recyclable aluminium cans! https://lnkd.in/edd8SFyz

Another brilliant activation from Chris Latham-Warde and Phoebe from the Every Can Counts team in the UK, this time in the West Country. A giant polar bear installation made of ♻recycled♻ aluminium cans appeared on Bristol’s city centre to mark World Environment Day. Made from 2,000 cans, the PixelCan artwork was created by leading recycling not-for-profit, Every Can Counts, to shine a light on species which are currently endangered or vulnerable due to ecosystem degradation. 👇 Check out the story below. https://lnkd.in/e_siqxGj
