Waste that becomes an opportunity for a greener Italy, where innovation, decarbonization and sustainability pave the way for the future

Steel is the most recycled material in the world, capable of being reused countless times without losing its intrinsic properties. Italy is one of the key players in the processing and recycling of this material, boasting collection and recycling rates that reach 87%. This achievement far exceeds the 80% target set by the European Union for 2030.

Steel for Packaging Europe, formerly known as Apeal, an association promoting steel as a sustainable solution for packaging, has confirmed a new record in recycling rates.

24Bottles, an Italian design brand known for creating reusable, lightweight and colourful steel bottles that are easy to customise, has decided to collaborate with Green Media Lab, a communications agency, with the aim of spreading a common vision that focuses on the responsibility to create positive change for the planet and for people, sharing values of social and environmental responsibility.

New figures published by Apeal, the Association of European Steel Packaging Manufacturers, show that the recycling rate set by the EU for 2025 has already been achieved.
