Wow - these are two achievements worth celebrating: From the incredible turnaround time of recycled aluminium drinks cans being back on supermarket shelves in just 60 days to 80.5% of steel packaging being recycled across Europe... ... we'd have to say that's pretty can-tastic! #mpma #cannyfacts #canning #aluminium #steel #canneddrinks #steelpackaging #metalpackaging #recycling

We love this innovation from an inventor in America. A reusable cap for canned beverages! Created for people whose carbonated canned beverages turn flat before they've finished consuming them. The patent-pending invention prevents air from entering the can and carbon dioxide from escaping. It also helps prevent beverage waste and spills. Sounds like a winner to us!

We think you'll agree that over 77% of UK households recycling their metal packaging is something to celebrate. You could even call it 'Cantastic' ☺️ Not only is this a good reflection of the Great British public, but it is also testament to all you businesses and organisations out there who are using metal packaging or helping people to understand its very high recycling rate. Stay tuned for more #cantastic stats coming your way from the #MetalPackagingManufacturersAssociation #mpma #cannyfacts #canning #cannedfood #canneddrinks #metalpackaging #recyclingrate #recycling

A closer look at the winning entry of the MPMA-sponsored #StarpackStudent design competition. ‘Verdure’ is the fictitious fragrance brand for which Matt Ledger created this show stopping luxury promotional metal pack. It represents ‘an essence of flourishing vegetation’, and the cleverly designed pack recognises both elegance and environmental consciousness. The striking green coloured tin incorporates sophisticated design elements, such as embossing and an eye-catching ribbed element, which help create stand out shelf appeal. Regardless of the contents, the tin itself is a unique design which would have a much-extended life as a beautiful tin in its own right. #metalpackaging #designstudents #packagingdesign #luxurypackaging #perfumepackaging #colognepackaging

Last month, we celebrated the winners of the Starpack Student design competition. Huge congratulations to Matt Ledger, winner of the MPMA-sponsored brief to design a luxury promotional metal pack for a fragrance brand. Matt’s design ‘Verdure’ celebrated both elegance and environmental consciousness. Runner-up William Stenning claimed his 2nd place status with a creative design ‘Aegir Voyager’, using a cologne bottle to portray a ship. The awards evening was held in London, on the 19th June with prizes presented by MPMA’s former director and chief executive, Robert Fell. Starpack Students will return next year and any universities or colleges who would like to get involved can contact MPMA which offers a bespoke lecture on designing and manufacturing in metal. Any institution wishing to take up this offer should contact debbie@mpma.org.uk    We are excited to see what next year's competition brings!
