Green & Growing®

At Impress we believe that metal is the prefered environmentally sustainable packaging:

  • no 1 packaging for eco-efficency
  • superior recycling rates (tinplate 63%, aluminium 48% in Europe)
  • CO2 emissions reduced by 65% in the last 20 years
  • energy consumption reduced by 60% in the last 20 years
  • food spoilage reduced by 20 to 50%
  • impact on waste is minimal (0.1% of household waste)
  • canned food is an ambient product: no energy needed for chilling or freezing
  • no secondary packaging needed

 

Impress is a founding member of the European Metal Packaging Association (EMPAC) which is tasked with protecting and promoting the European rigid metal packaging industry>> more information
