Ball Aerosol Packaging, a global leader in aluminum packaging solutions, has achieved certification from the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI), a non-profit organization that promotes sustainability in the aluminum industry. The certification ensures sustainable performance based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, and provides assurance of responsible production practices throughout the aluminum value chain.
The ASI audit covered all nine of Ball’s manufacturing plants and aerosol packaging worldwide, demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainability. “Achieving ASI certification is a way for companies to show that they are compliant with increasingly stringent sustainability protocols,” said Predrag Ozmo, Sustainability Director of Ball Aerosol Packaging.
The company’s aluminum aerosol division offers a range of aluminum packaging solutions in categories such as personal care, household, and beverage packaging. These include a variety of impact extruded single and multi-use aluminum bottles, as well as aerosol containers with primary aluminum content made using low-carbon energy sources.
Jay Billings, President of Ball Aerosol Packaging, expressed pride in the company’s sustainability efforts, highlighting the role of partnership with customers in driving innovation. “Our aluminum aerosol business’ sustainability efforts showcase what can be achieved through material and emissions reduction goal setting, innovation and, especially, partnership with customers.”
ASI certification guarantees the highest sustainability standards throughout the entire aluminum value chain – from mining through refining, smelting, manufacturing, and product use, up to end-of-life management and recycling. The certification enables the aluminum industry to provide independent and credible assurance of performance.
In the face of increasingly demanding sustainability protocols, Ball Aerosol Packaging has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and responsible production practices. The company’s ASI certification stands as a testament to its efforts to reduce its environmental impact and support the global transition to a more sustainable future.
