A new report assessing three U.S. beverage packaging types — aluminum cans, glass bottles and plastic PET bottles — finds aluminum cans have the highest circular performance. In the current U.S. system, more than 80% of beverage cans collected for recycling are recovered and turned back into new beverage containers.
Delmonte Foods Inc. CEO Greg Longstreet says that the U.S. is in an “inflationary environment” right now with tariffs driving up prices on his company’s canned fruits and vegetables.
