Japanese manufacturer of aluminium products UACJ and Toyo Seikan have concluded a business alliance agreement to collaboratively research strategies for advancing the horizontal recycling of aluminium cans. With this partnership, they aim to use the technology and expertise of both firms to produce and market aluminium cans with increased environmental value.Also, both businesses will think about working together on initiatives to encourage collecting and recycling old aluminium cans along the whole value chain to promote further "CAN to CAN" horizontal aluminium can recycling.Japanese beverage cans made of aluminium have a high recycling rate of 97%. However, the most recent assessment revealed that fewer than 60 per cent of the can's body and lid are made entirely of recovered aluminium. A greater recycling rate will significantly decrease emissions because CO2 emissions during the manufacturing of recycled aluminium ingots are only around 3 per cent of those of new ingots.
