Consequently, many are calling for increased government and industry intervention to address the growing problem.
On the other hand, aluminum foil containers are mostly recyclable and can be used again, reducing the amount of waste generated by packaging. As per Aluminum Foil Container Manufacture Association, all of the nearly 7 billion aluminum foil containers produced annually are 100% recyclable.
Henceforth, environmental regulations over the use of plastics and the recyclable nature of aluminum are expected to increase the foil containers market during the forecast period.
