Special Edition: Closing the Loop – Why Can Recycling Matters in the U.S. (with Ball & CMI)

In this special edition of the Aluminum Expert Series, developed in collaboration with Ball Corporation and the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI), we explore the importance of aluminum can recycling in the U.S. and the opportunity to significantly improve circularity and recover an essential metal input for the US aluminum production. Bringing together experts from across the value chain, this discussion highlights the recycling gap and why used beverage cans are a critical input for new production. From policy and infrastructure to consumer engagement, the episode outlines the actions needed to close the loop. By working together, Constellium, Ball, and CMI aim to amplify these important messages—reaching wider audiences, engaging stakeholders, and helping move the industry in the right direction.
