The online campaign is being run in partnership with cross-industry partners including Ball Aerocan and the British Aerosol Manufacturers Association (BAMA).

As per estimates, nearly 95% of UK councils offer kerbside aerosol recycling collection. However, only around 46% of the used aerosol cans are correctly separated for recycling by consumers. This suggests the importance of generating greater awareness among consumers, ALUPRO noted. Incidentally, aerosol cans has been the consistent topper on WRAP’s list of confusing consumer packaging types for several years now.
