大多数制造出来的塑料都被作为废物丢弃，每年造成2.2万亿欧元的环境和社会损失，并污染海洋，而铝的回收率很高，饮料罐的回收率为49.8%，而塑料（PET）的回收率为29.2%，玻璃的回收率为26.4%。据彭博社报道，雀巢公司和联合利华已经宣布计划使包装可回收或可重复使用，可口可乐公司将把其Dasani品牌的水包装成铝罐。随着高速罐装生产线的生产速度达到2400罐/分钟，即使是在效率和材料降尺方面的微小改进也可以产生显着的节省。Unimaq和Innoval将在这个项目上合作，开发一种新的工艺，有望显著提高罐身制造效率。在实施该项目时，Unimaq将与Innoval Technology合作，后者在铝冶金和制罐合金的热机械加工方面具有专门的专业知识。

Most of the plastic manufactured has been discarded as waste, causing environmental and social damage of €2.2 trillion/yr and pollutes the oceans whereas aluminium has a high recycling rate that for beverage cans, is 49.8% in the US compared to 29.2% for plastic (PET) and 26.4% for glass. Bloomberg reports that Nestle SA and Unilever have announced plans to make packaging recyclable or reusable and Coca-Cola will package its Dasani water brand into aluminium cans.With high-speed canning lines producing up to 2,400 cans/minute 24/7 even small improvements in efficiencies and material downgauging can generate significant savings. Unimaq and Innoval will work together on this project to develop a novel process which promises significant improvements in can body manufacturing efficiencies. In conducting this project Unimaq will partner with Innoval Technology who have specific expertise in aluminium metallurgy and the thermo-mechanical processing of can making alloys.
