New ambitious sustainability targets underline commitment to a circular economy

Ardagh Group, a leading global supplier of infinitely recyclable metal and glass sustainable packaging solutions, has today published its new Sustainability Report 2021, which announces the launch of ambitious new long-term targets for Ardagh Metal Packaging and Ardagh Glass Packaging.

• Virtual trials on new coatings to significantly reduce the weight of glass bottles to start in January 2022, with anticipated product testing in summer 2022
• Virtual trials reduce the risks and timescales of the development and testing process for glass strengthening and lightweighting
• Reducing the weight of glass bottles reduces the raw materials and energy used in the glass melting process and reduces emissions in manufacture and transportation
• If successful, significant lightweighting could be transformational for the glass industry on its journey to net zero
