Since 99% of aluminium packaging is consumer packaging, mainly discarded in the home, and there is ample reprocessing capacity and end-markets for both cans and foil, the only barrier to high recycling rates is collection - convenient infrastructure and higher participation rates.

Alupro's Recycle for Africa campaign engages householders with the link between saving energy through recycling and helping build sustainable lives through fruit-tree growing in Malawi.   We have a programme of local promotional opportunities and materials for recycling officers, which promote all recycling.
