Steel for Packaging Update
Issue #28, June 2022

Welcome to this latest issue.

Steel has done it again! Recycling rates are continuing to rise, you can read more from my colleagues below.

If you missed our February event you can watch the highlights video or download our new recycling report and policy recommendations.

We’re also sharing our English-language communication toolkit for end-users, and discussing whether flexible materials are eco-friendlier due to their weight. Spoiler alert – they aren’t!

Stay safe and in touch through LinkedIn and Twitter.
