Red Hare Brewing founder and CEO Roger Davis said that the evercan aluminium can sheet fits well for beer packaging.
"The independent certification of the closed-loop recycling process behind evercan strengthens our commitment to employing the best in sustainable business practices, making evercan a natural extension of the Red Hare brand," Davis added.
Aluminium recycler Novelis aims to increase the recycling content of its beverage cans to 80% across its global operations by 2020. Over the last two years, the company has announced capital investments of approximately $500m that will double its global recycling capacity to 2.1 million tonnes by 2015.
Novelis president and chief executive officer Phil Marten said: "This introduction marks the commercial availability of the world’s first certified high-recycled content aluminum beverage can."
