Consumers today care as much about food packaging as the product inside. They are demanding recyclable, sustainable materials to contain their favourite foods and personal care articles and are even willing to pay a premium for these products.
As food and consumer goods manufacturers are looking to reduce their reliance on plastics and lower their carbon footprint, the world of eco-friendly packaging materials can be overwhelming and confusing.

Enter aluminum, a material that has been safely used for food packaging applications for over a century. Find out more about this versatile, but stable material and understand what are the properties that make it an ideal and sustainable packaging solution.
Join this live webinar to understand how to take advantage of aluminum for a multitude of food and consumer products packaging options, while maintaining the integrity of your products and ensuring more eco-friendly packaging that meets modern consumer’s demand for sustainability.
