The UK Aerosol Recycling Initiative aims to achieve a national aerosol recycling rate of 50% by 2030.

Earlier this year, the group launched a roadmap that would help achieve this target.

Henkel’s operational head for R&D Operations (UK & Ireland) Claudia Berto said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the UK Aerosol Recycling Initiative and supporting its mission to further improve aerosol recycling rates across the UK.

“At Henkel, we’re committed to contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future and fostering innovation to embrace the circular economy. Together, alongside businesses from across the aerosol value chain, we can work to make a lasting impact, promoting responsible consumption and best practice recycling.”

Earlier in April this year, Henkel and UPM Specialty Papers created a new line of packaging that aims to provide a sustainable alternative for protective and heat-sealable packaging.

Henkel offers haircare products and laundry detergents such as Loctite, Jeyes, Schwarzkopf, and Dylon Dyes.

Alupro’s executive director Tom Giddings said: “As a world-leading solutions provider, partnering with Henkel will prove invaluable to the UK Aerosol Recycling Initiative as we continue to drive change in the aluminium packaging industry.”
