Explore how we’re changing the status quo, setting a higher bar, and making strides toward a more sustainable future through product and people.
In our dedication to delivering results, fostering innovation, and championing sustainability, Ball unveils our 2023 Combined Annual & Sustainability Report to showcase our progress toward a more circular future, while at the same time unlocking our infinite potential.
Today, the world’s leading producer of sustainable aluminum packaging announced the company has completed the sale of its aerospace business.
Award-winning innovation and state-of-the-art quality control have always been at the heart of the products our team delivers, which is why we recently released our first white paper.
Ball Corporation and Novelis are participating in a World Economic Forum-led effort – the First Movers Coalition (FMC). Both companies are part of FMC’s aluminum sector, whose members pledge purchases towards reducing the industry’s CO2 footprint.
Imagine a world where sustainable aluminum products that are forever recyclable are available. It’s not an unrealistic dream… we’re making that world happen today.
At Ball, we exist to unlock the infinite potential of aluminum to advance a world free from waste. To do so, we’re leading the charge in the sustainable production of aluminum cans and packaging, while investing in recycling in communities across the globe.
It’s a win for our product. It’s a win for the planet.
At Ball, we aim to advance sustainability through aluminum packaging. We’re looking to set the example, but it’s only by working together that the aluminum can industry can achieve true circularity.
To reach our 2030 sustainability goals, we must first achieve circularity – the continued lifecycle of reusable materials – in our local communities and across the globe. Together with our customers and partners, we are focusing our efforts on these four areas:
Let’s make deposit return systems more convenient and readily available. Together, we can reach a recovery target of 90% for all beverage containers globally.
Barriers for investments in material recovery facilities and sorting technology delay progress. Combining product design guidelines and the right tipping fees and material bans can bring the change we need for sorting innovation.
Increasing local recycling efforts reduces imports of virgin raw materials. By increasing recycling efforts and ensuring technologies are able to produce maximum yields and quality, the global footprint for new aluminum production can be drastically lowered.
We want to ensure that recycled content gets used as best it can. This can be supported by creating a standard for recycled content, providing incentives to keep packaging-to-packaging loops closed and by offering tax incentives for recycled materials versus virgin.
We build a culture of excellence where our people are empowered to work together to find lasting, circular solutions that grow value for our business, our customers, our shareholders and the world.
We believe in the strength of our people, the integrity of our culture, and our ability to consistently deliver value, driving us to make this vision a reality.
We attune to our customers’ needs by actively listening, taking on their challenges as our own as we create long-term solutions with cascading sustainability benefits beyond their business.
We believe our packaging can change the world — and you can too. Join us on our journey to provide the most sustainable packaging solutions on the planet.
With Ball, you’re working toward something bigger than yourself.
