AMP's sustainability strategy

Sustainability accreditations and associations

AMP works closely with influential industry associations to increase recycling rates and the availability of recycled material for metal packaging. Working in partnership, we support improved packaging recycling legislation by highlighting positive recycling examples in the communities where we have production facilities. We also directly invest in new, highly efficient recycling operations.

Operating across the regions where we are present, the members of these associations include the major players of the global beverage can industry, including suppliers. These groups positively represent the beverage can industry, educating stakeholders on the environmental and business benefits of the products. They also communicate to legislators the economic and community benefits of recycling cans.

Every region we serve has clear recycling goals for aluminium beverage cans. As a member of Metal Packaging Europe (MPE) we support its ambition to achieve a 100% recycling rate by 2030. The Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) in the United States published a recycling roadmap and primer announcing a 70% recycling rate goal by 2030, 80% by 2040 and 90% by 2050. In Brazil, our industry association Abralatas is committed to maintaining one of the world’s highest recycling rates at 100%.

AMP has been instrumental in driving collaboration across the value chain to develop a standardised Beverage Can Recycled Content methodology. In partnership with CMI, global can manufacturers, and metal sheet producers, we are proud to have achieved this standardisation. We expect this calculation improvement to enhance performance across the entire value chain for all producers.
