Life cycle assessment of beverage packaging: Pathways to a circular, low-carbon future
Ball Corporation, a global leader in aluminum beverage packaging, conducted a comprehensive, peer‑reviewed life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of its cans and compare them with other packaging options. By examining the full product life cycle, the company identified key environmental hotspots and opportunities to reduce emissions and advance circularity. The study supports Ball’s commitment to low‑carbon, sustainable packaging by guiding improvements in design, production, and recycling, helping drive progress toward a more circular future for beverage containers.
