Bureau Veritas Advises Packaging Sector on Aluminium Standards

摘要

It comes amid a soaring demand for aluminium in the coming years driven by the construction, packaging and automotive sectors. This is down to a greater adoption of electric vehicles and moves to reduce plastic packaging in favour of aluminium packaging to protect the environment. Yet, despite its versatility and status as the one of the most recycled materials on the planet, aluminium sourcing and production comes with various negative environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts. For example, latest research suggests aluminium accounts for 1-2% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as contributing to widespread biodiversity loss.
