SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): In a major step toward advancing sustainable packaging, Alcoa Corporation, Ball Corporation, and Unilever PLC have announced a joint pilot project to integrate ELYSIS carbon-free smelting technology into personal care and home care packaging. The announcement comes ahead of the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), set to take place in Brazil from November 10–21, 2025.
This groundbreaking collaboration will see the first-ever use of aluminum produced through ELYSIS carbon-free smelting in consumer packaging. The aerosol cans, made with 50% ELYSIS primary aluminum and 50% post-consumer recycled content, are expected to become one of the lowest-carbon packaging solutions available globally.
The initiative highlights how cross-industry partnerships can accelerate low-carbon innovation and drive meaningful progress toward global decarbonization goals. It also reflects growing consumer demand for sustainable packaging alternatives.
The use of ELYSIS aluminum in personal and home care products marks a pivotal milestone for the aluminum and consumer goods industries, showcasing how next-generation technologies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transform traditional manufacturing processes across the value chain.
