Welcome |
Thank you for reading Steel for Packaging Update, your go-to source for the latest news and insights from the steel packaging industry.
This issue is a special one—we are celebrating our transformation from APEAL to Steel for Packaging Europe after nearly 40 years as an association. We're excited to unveil our new look and logo, symbolising steel’s remarkable ability to be continuously produced, recycled, and reborn.
This inherent circularity has driven the latest impressive rise in steel packaging recycling rates – really recycled figures, not just collection rates.
We also welcome a new member to our team, reinforcing our commitment to navigating the evolving EU policy landscape with renewed clarity and vision, active contributors to the development of a sustainable packaging future.
Great to have you here with us. Let’s get started!
