As consumers’ lifestyles only become busier, beverage-makers are turning to convenient, on-the-go packaging options to coincide with this new trend. Whether it’s carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), craft beer or wine, convenient, sustainable options like aluminum cans, are providing can filling and seaming manufacturers a path for innovation.
An infographic from the Washington, D.C.-based Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) titled “The Economic Impact of the Aluminum Can Industry in the U.S.” notes that the total impact of beverage cans within the beer and soft drink industries equates to $71.8 billion of economic impact and 82,821 jobs. There are 96 billion cans (including food, beverage and aerosol) produced every year, it says.
