Ball Corporation, in collaboration with Alcoa and Unilever, has revealed the first customer personal and home care (PHC) packing made with aluminum formed utilizing ELYSIS carbon-free manufacturing technology. The aerosol can is prepared with 50% ELYSIS aluminum and 50% post-consumer recycled materials, marking an important step forward in sustainable packing and industrial partnership.
“This plan associates higher recycled content and low-carbon primary aluminum, both are crucial to decarbonize aluminum packing and the aluminum segment at large. This is both a packing invention and a critical supply chain partnership at work,” expressed Ramon Arratia, chief sustainability officer and vice president of worldwide public activities at Ball Corporation.
“Through this partnership with Ball and Unilever, we’re bringing low-carbon aluminum into normal products and representing how invention at the resource level can offer tangible sustainability advantages. We are gratified to join across the aluminum value chain to decrease carbon footprints and generate real influence in people’s everyday lives,” expressed Renato Bacchi, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Alcoa.
As a founding member of the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI), Ball continues to set the standard for responsible aluminum sourcing. In 2024, 27% of the aluminum Ball procured was ASI-certified, up from 21% in 2023, with 80% sourced from fully ASI-certified rolling mills. Today, more than 90% of Ball’s manufacturing plants worldwide hold ASI certification, underscoring the company’s deep commitment to sustainability, transparency, and continuous improvement across its global operations.
Ball’s Climate Transition Plan, modernized in 2025, plans a science-based roadmap to net zero. The corporation aims to achieve a 55% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions across all possibilities by 2030, aligned with the 1.5°C pathway. The strategy drives real reductions across the value chain, supports customers’ climate goals, and avoids reliance on offsets. The introduction of ELYSIS aluminum in PHC packing is more than a technical achievement; it’s a model for how partnership can turn climate-driven initiatives into market-ready solutions.
