The consistently better aluminium can – Dove from Unilever

An essential factor in the development of consumer goods packaging materials is the resource-saving use of packaging material.

All aspects of material use were considered very intensively in developing this aerosol. The shape, aluminium alloy, manufacturing process and the way the empty cans are delivered during the filling process were so well coordinated that a total material saving of 19% could be achieved, compared to the currently marketed version. The jury was impressed by the consistent approach as well as the technological foresight of considering possible addition of aluminium from PCR material flows.
