Comparison based on a comprehensive “cradle-to-grave” life-cycle analysis of basic packaging (standard APA structure: aluminum/PE/aluminum: 12/60/12 or 76 microns of caliber 34x122 – 4°22) compared to the suggested packaging (aluminum and paper structure in caliber 34x122 – 4°22) assuming 100% mechanical recycling for the aluminum part and 100% incineration with energy recovery for the other components – in both cases. Carried out using our ASSET Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool, verified by Carbon Trust.
Reduction based on the comparison with an aluminum screw cap made with a European average primary aluminum sheet (9 tons of CO2/ton of production) (European aluminum, 2018 (European aluminum, 2018).
Recycled content based on supplier self-declaration according to ISO 14021.
