When it comes to sustainability and the circular economy, few materials can match the unique properties of aluminium. One of the most common questions people ask is how many times it can be recycled. The answer is remarkable: aluminium can be recycled infinitely without losing its original properties. This characteristic makes aluminium recycling one of […]

In today’s sustainability debate, disposable food containers have become a key topic within the food packaging industry. The growth of takeaway services, food delivery, ready meals and grab-and-go solutions has increased demand for practical and safe packaging, while simultaneously raising awareness of the environmental impact of packaging materials. For food manufacturers, delicatessens and cash & […]

In the food packaging sector, sustainability is not only about end-of-life management, but also about the quality and safety of production processes. In this context, BRC certification stands out as one of the most relevant standards for companies manufacturing packaging intended for food contact. For companies such as Contital, operating in the aluminium packaging market, […]

Within the context of waste separation, understanding where aluminium should be disposed of is a key step in contributing meaningfully to sustainability. Aluminium foil, trays and other types of packaging are part of everyday life — particularly in the food sector — but their correct disposal is what truly unlocks their potential. Aluminium is, in […]

Aluminium recycling is one of the cornerstones of the circular economy and represents a clear example of how a material can retain its value over time. Unlike many other materials used in food packaging, aluminium can be recycled repeatedly without losing its original properties. This makes it a particularly sustainable choice for both consumers and […]

Food waste is one of the most pressing environmental, economic and social challenges of our time. In Europe, as well as globally, the issue is increasingly central to discussions around the sustainability of agri-food supply chains. Reducing food waste does not only mean avoiding the loss of edible products, but also limiting the environmental impact […]

Food packaging companies play an increasingly strategic role within the food supply chain. They are no longer limited to supplying containers, but actively contribute to food safety, waste reduction and the transition towards more sustainable production models. In a context where consumers, retailers and regulations demand greater attention to environmental impact, packaging has become a […]

Aluminium recycling is one of the key pillars supporting the transition towards an increasingly circular economy. In 2025, this topic becomes even more strategic for companies operating in the food packaging sector, which are required to combine performance, safety and sustainability. Thanks to its unique properties, aluminium continues to stand out as one of the […]

When we talk about aluminium and sustainability, recovery is absolutely key. Aluminium is one of the most valuable materials in a circular economy perspective: it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its original properties. That’s why it’s important to understand how aluminium recovery works, what impact it has on the environment and why choosing aluminium […]

Aluminium is one of the few materials that can be recycled infinitely without losing its original properties. This means it can go through countless recycling cycles — from a drinks can to an aluminium tray, and then to a car part — while maintaining the same level of strength, lightness and resistance. Unlike other packaging […]
