A circular economy is regenerative by design and is considered to be at the very heart of the future 'resource efficiency' agenda.
Rexam, a leading global beverage can maker, has created a unique infographic with engaging illustrations which highlights the three key stages of beverage cans within the circular economy - manufacturing, consumption and recycling. It showcases the infinite recycling potential of the beverage can and its resource efficiency credentials.
John Revess, Director of Sustainability at Rexam, comments:
"We are living with linear economic systems inherited from the last century where we take something out of the ground, make something out of it - as efficiently as possible - but ultimately, we throw it away and attempt to recycle what we can.
As a company that makes more than 60 billion cans a year (which are effectively single serve packaging units), we have a responsibility to ensure that we use materials that deliver a strong sustainability performance and support a circular economy.
Global recycling rates for drinks cans are already around 70%, making them the most recycled type of beverage packaging. This has created a 2.5 million tonne market for used beverage cans worth around £2.5bn which supports the livelihoods of thousands of people.
Rexam is committed to increasing the recycling rate further in order to help close the material loop."
