Aluminum packs collected through curbside, bring and on-the-go systems increased in the UK by 13 percent year-on-year (115,382, compared to 102,195
in 2022).
Tonnage recovered from incinerator bottom ash (IBA) shot up by 17 percent (45,632 compared to 38,982).
Tom Giddings, executive director of Alupro, said, “I’m delighted to announce record-breaking recycling volumes for 2023. While more aluminum packaging was placed on the domestic market than last year, it’s pleasing to see that recycling rates have more than kept up with pace.
“As an industry, we’ve been investing heavily in optimizing our collection and recycling infrastructure for the past 20 years and we’re now reaping the rewards of this long-term commitment.”
