Representing the 5 major European producers of packaging steel– Acciaierie d’Italia, ArcelorMittal, Tata Steel, thyssenkrupp Rasselstein, and U.S. Steel Košice. Steel packaging is strong, versatile, and infinitely recyclable.
Europe’s packaging landscape is changing rapidly.
On 21 April at Europe’s Circular Future, Susana Solís and Bruno Tobback join EU and industry leaders to explore policy trends, packaging’s role in climate goals, and how to scale recycling across member states.

1980s steel cans were simple and uniform. Forty years later, the look has totally changed: slimmer shapes, embossing, bold graphics and premium finishes give steel packaging a modern, expressive edge.

A coffee brand calling steel “a bank vault for fresh coffee” says it all. Chock full o’Nuts uses steel for strong protection and endless recyclability - and makes it clear on pack.
More brands are choosing steel for exactly that mix of freshness and circularity.

4 decades of circularity.
Steel packaging has spent the last four decades demonstrating how a material can be recycled again and again, retain its strength and support a truly circular system.

Why choose steel-packaged food this Christmas?
Fresh produce spoils fast. Steel lets you plan ahead, avoid last-minute stress, and reduce waste. It’s convenient, portion-controlled, and can be recycled again and again.
#SteelforPackagingEurope
1.3 billion tonnes of food wasted every year.
Steel packaging helps fight this by protecting food from damage and spoilage, extending shelf life, and reducing waste- plus it can be recycled again and again.
#steelforpackagingeurope
Packaging built for the journey.
Steel packaging stands up to impact, stacking, and long-distance transport- keeping products safe without compromise. It’s a natural barrier against light, air, and contaminants, trusted for food, drinks, aerosols, and more.
#SteelforPackagingEurope
Steel packaging makes cooking easier.
No squeezing, less mess, and easy to rinse before recycling - reducing food waste. Plus, steel is one of Europe’s most recycled materials and can be reused again and again without losing quality.
#SteelforPackagingEurope
Steel packaging brings luxury this Christmas.
From gourmet biscuits to fine teas and spirits, steel offers elegance and sustainability. Highly recyclable, strong, and protective, keeping festive flavours fresh.
#SteelforPackagingEurope
Can steel cans support healthier, more sustainable choices? Absolutely.

When it comes to packaging, protection matters.
Steel packaging offers unmatched durability, protecting products from damage during transport, storage and handling. Its inherent properties act as a barrier against light, oxygen and contaminants, helping preserve quality for longer.
#SFPE
It’s the European Week for Waste Reduction.
Worldsteel estimates that 75% of all steel ever produced is still in use today.

Circularity is not just about new materials - it’s about making proven materials perform even better within current systems.
Recyclability performance grades under #PPWR will push the entire sector to the next level.
#SustainablePackagingSummit #steelpackaging #circularchampions
Circular packaging must be part of the climate conversation.
As the UN Climate Conference kicks off in Belém, we hope discussions around climate action recognise the role of permanent materials like steel in building a truly circular economy.

McKinsey’s 2025 global survey shows that food safety and shelf life are the most important packaging characteristics for consumers across all regions.
Steel packaging supports both performance and sustainability.

🌍 Great to be part of a committed supply chain going the extra mile to support design and use of highly recyclable packaging formats, incl. steel.
Such collaboration drives real progress toward a circular economy, making packaging more sustainable, one standard at a time.
#CEN #recyclablepackaging
Steel packaging meets this expectation. It can be recycled again and again without losing its quality. Its magnetic properties make it easy to collect and sort and it is already one of the most recycled packaging materials in Europe.
