Working to maximise the UK's recycling rate for aluminium packaging
Local Authorities
Most local authorities already recycle mixed cans. They are easily collected within both comingled or source separated systems, and materials recovery facilities (MRFs) are well-equipped to sort aluminium from steel.
We know that householders are keen to recycle more materials, and Alupro offers a range of support to local authorities who are expanding or promoting their recycling activity, including communications resources to help achieve maximum participation (see our Media Library).
We also work with MRF operators and waste management firms to advise on the introduction of aerosol and foil collections.
