Why choose Aluminium over Plastic ?
Plastic pollution is a global problem. The statistics are alarming – and emotive. The WWF reports that 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped in our oceans every year and 90% of seabirds have plastic in their stomachs. Recycling plastic is more complex, leads to degradation and has lower reuse rates than aluminum - so the metal has been heralded as a greener alternative. No wonder it has been called the 'magical' or the 'miraculous' metal because of its chemical and physical properties, as well as for the broad range of mechanical characteristics that can be achieved with modern aluminium alloys.
​
Aluminium has gained popularity as a substitute of steel, copper, zinc and leads in a number of industries because it is light metal, resistant to corrosion, a good conductor of heat, malleable and becomes strong when it is mixed with other metals.
​
Aluminium's ability to form any shape and its protective qualities have made it the most versatile packaging material in the world.
