Insights from Key Regions
Rising Ecological Concerns Supported Europe's Dominance
Europe dominated the recycled aluminum cans market with the largest share in 2023 and is projected to sustain its dominance in the market during the forecast period. This is mainly due to stringent environmental regulations. Many European countries have well-developed waste management systems that facilitate high recyclability rates. Germany, the U.K., and France are leading contributors to market expansion.
There is a high focus on sustainability, encouraging the adoption of recyclable materials, including recycled aluminum cans. Moreover, rising consumption of packaged food and beverages and efforts to boost aluminum recycling contribute to regional market expansion.
In April 2024 , RecAL launched a European effort to boost aluminum recycling. The Vienna-based Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) is leading a European Union project known as RecAL that focuses on sustainability, the circular economy, and resource efficiency in the aluminum industry.
North America: The Fastest-growing Region
North America is projected to witness the fastest growth in the market in the coming years. The rising concern among people about the environmental impact of packaging waste encourages the adoption of recycled aluminum cans. Rising government initiatives and policies aimed at promoting recycling and reducing packaging waste further boost the recycled aluminum cans market growth in the region.
In addition, the region, particularly the U.S. and Canada, is at the forefront of technological advancements, leading to the development of advanced recycling technologies. Recycled aluminum cans are favored mainly due to their recycling ability and low carbon footprint during manufacturing. The increasing adoption of packaged food and beverages further boosts market growth.
In October 2024 , PPG announced that it is joining a U.S. recycling movement to collect millions of aluminum beverage cans as part of the“2 Million Cans Recycling Contest.” The contest is a partnership with the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI), recycling education group Recycling is like Magic! elementary schools, scrapyards and aluminum can makers and suppliers to encourage students to learn about the importance of recycling.
Recycled Aluminum Cans Market Segmentation
By source, the curbside pickup spots segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. This is mainly due to the rapid shift toward eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions. Curbside recycled products are the most used method for gathering aluminum cans. Curbside recycling is a service that picks up recyclables from home and takes them to a processing facility. By technology, the closed loop recycling segment is expected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. Aluminum is recycled under a closed loop and then manufactured into a new product. Closed-loop recycling includes reprocessing aluminum scrap into products of the same or similar quality without significant material degradation. This method is widely used in industries like packaging and automotive, where high-quality recycled aluminum is required. Closed-loop recycling diminishes waste and decreases the environmental footprint by constantly reusing materials within the same production cycle. By type, the food & beverages containers segment held the largest share of the market in 2023. This is mainly due to the increased consumption of beverages. Soft drinks are usually packaged in aluminum cans because they are non-reactive and, hence, can be stored for a longer time. The growing emphasis on sustainability and stringent regulations stimulating the use of recycled materials in packaging fueled the segment. By end use, the transportation segment is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period. Recycled aluminum cans are widely used in the automotive industry to manufacture vehicle components, which reduces the overall weight of vehicles and increases fuel consumption.
Competitive Landscape
Key players operating in the recycled aluminum cans market include Ardagh Group, Ball Corporation, CPMC Holdings, Recycle Biz, Toyo Seikan, Abc metals, Ace Cans Manufacturing Co, Albott Containers Private Limited, Alumatic Cans PVT LTD, Amcor, Constellium, GZ Industries, and Nampak. These players are making efforts to hold the maximum share of the market and gain a competitive edge.
In December 2024, Ball Corporation, the leading global provider of sustainable aluminum packaging for beverages, personal care, and home products, announced collaboration with Dabur India Limited to expand its Real juice portfolio with the launch of the new Real Bites in full recyclable aluminum cans in India.
Recent Developments
In July 2024, Co-op initiated a 94-store trial featuring new BWS chillers for single-serve cans. The entire range, available in single-serve recyclable aluminum cans and displayed in new BWS chiller sections, includes pre-mixed cocktails, craft beers, ciders, wines, and ready-to-drink spirit mixers, providing Co-op members and customers with a wide variety of choices. In October 2023, Budweiser Brewing Co APAC Ltd, the largest beer company selling its products in Asia Pacific, initiated a 'Can-to-Can' recycling program in China to increase the portion of recycled aluminum cans. The program aims to reduce carbon emissions by 35% by 2025.
