Aluminium beverage cans – from coil to can

With extensive expertise and the most advanced equipment, we at Speira produce aluminium strip for the manufacture of beverage cans. Aluminium beverage can manufacturers around the world appreciate our high-quality and sustainable products. For many years, we have been working with the largest and most renowned international manufacturers of aluminium beverage cans.

Fresh, cool and recyclable: Aluminium stands out with its properties.

Aluminium is becoming increasingly popular for beverage can production. It has excellent technical properties and is recyclable. Aluminium sheet for beverage cans also scores points for its effective thermal conductivity and extreme lightness.

This material is used to produce 100 % recyclable aluminium beverage cans that keep the contents cool, tasty and fresh on their way to the consumer. Aluminium beverage cans are also impermeable to light and air, so that liquids are protected from external influences and stay fresh for longer. In addition, aluminium beverage cans have an integrated cooling effect and can be cooled with minimal energy consumption. The compact formats are another plus point. These make it possible to transport large quantities of aluminium beverage cans with minimal space requirements.

VERO. The truth.

“Becoming a recycling company” – that is our endeavor.

And this claim is already embodied in our VERO products today - because they produce 30 % fewer CO2 emissions than the European average. While others only talk about it, we have gone about verifying it. In the interests of complete transparency.

Transparency at every step of the supply chain. How our aluminium beverage can products are made: It takes multiple stages of production before our aluminium strip is ready to be turned into cans. The metal is recycled and cast into rolling ingots. These are processed into coils at the world's largest aluminium smelting and hot-rolling mill Alunorf and refined in Grevenbroich for the can-end manufacturers to use. With production widths of up to two meters, a single rolled coil can be used to make 10 million can tabs, 3.5 million can ends or 700,000 can bodies.

From Speira you can always expect the highest quality. Because our plants can achieve even the smallest tolerances. To keep everything as efficient as possible, we monitor the production process of our beverage can material using state-of-the-art quality-control technologies.

ORBIS. The cycle.

Our label for particularly sustainable aluminium products.

By using recycled materials, we reduce energy on a large scale without compromising on quality. At least 75% of external scrap is used for this purpose. In addition, there are even more sustainable products with a recycled content of 85% or 95%.

And that’s not all.

Our products with 75 %, 85 % or 95 % external scrap are so outstanding that this is also reflected in the name.

We recycle 100,000 metric tons of aluminium each year – our sustainable production and effective recycling

By using aluminium to make cans and can-ends, we are using a raw material with many environmental benefits. In fact, aluminium beverage cans are the most sustainable beverage packaging type, leaving behind a significantly lower CO2 footprint than glass or plastic.

There is a good reason for our recycling activities too, as the production process generates fewer emissions, and aluminium can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of quality. Using aluminium over and over again is not only good for the planet, it's also extremely energy efficient. In fact, it takes 95% less energy to recycle the cans than it does to produce new aluminium.

At Speira, we are working hard to raise the beverage can recycling rate across Europe. We are driving forward the lean recycling process of the future, with even shorter transport routes. Today, we are already using our own recycling plant, which recycles 100,000 metric tons of aluminium each year. The capacity of our plant is equivalent to nearly all the beverage cans used in Germany in one year; and it takes just 60 days between the can being used and then finding its way back onto store shelves.
