New metal packaging market reports predict strong growth for the industry in the next decade, with one predicting the value of the global metal packaging market to reach more than US$150bn by 2026.

Prepared by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the Metal Packaging Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016-2026 report says cans are the most commonly used metal packaging type in the world, and it makes the US$150bn growth projection on the basis of two key factors.

The first is the changing lifestyle of many around the world, with time-poor consumers increasingly opting for pre-prepared food

and beverages packed in metal containers. The report predicts a surge in the consumption of canned fruits and vegetables in particular.

The second growth factor for metal packaging is its ability to protect products from “microbiological deterioration”. The report points out this attribute is especially important for developing countries with limited access to refrigerated food storage.

The report also predicts that this benefit of metal packaging will see an increase in the use of metal packaging by the pharmaceutical and personal care industries.

ChallengesWhile the overall outlook is for strong growth, the report

does identify challenges facing the metal packaging industry in the form of the growing use of HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and PET bottles.

It says metal packaging companies will need to keep developing new and innovative metal packaging prototypes, and continue to develop new marketing strategies, in order to broaden their share of the market.

Outlook by regionThe report identifies North America as the dominant metal packaging market due to it having the highest rate of global canned food consumption. Europe is the second largest market, followed by Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

STRONG GROWTH FORECAST FOR GLOBAL METAL PACKAGING INDUSTRY

High growth is predicted in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American metal packaging markets thanks to strong demand for convenient, safe and hygienic packaging by end-use industries.

Many of the predictions outlined in the TMR report are shared by the Global Metal Packaging report – Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014-2021, published by Decision Databases.

This report declares metal is the most recycled of all packaging materials and says at least 80 per cent of metal packaging is recycled and reused – with no impact on quality or loss of nutrients in food or beverage applications.

It concurs with the findings of the TMR

report in predicting that the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries will increase their use of metal packaging thanks to its ability to protect products from contamination while maintaining optimum temperatures.

The Decision Databases report also predicts strong growth in metal packaging demand in the Asia-Pacific region thanks to rising standards of living and an increase in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. It also mentions significant growth in demand in the Middle East and Africa and Eastern Europe.

Jamestrong managing director John Bigley said the predictions in the two reports augur well for the future of the metal packaging industry globally.

“These reports paint a bright picture of the future of the global metal packaging industry,” he said.

Mr Bigley said the metal packaging industry is well placed to continue to innovate and diversify its products to meet changing demands in the market.

“In our own case at Jamestrong we recently opened our new formally zoned, dedicated infant formula can production line at our Kyabram plant.

“This $10 million investment in the new 300 can-per-minute line is aimed directly at meeting stringent domestic and international food safety standards while capitalising on regional demand for Australasian infant formula products,” Mr Bigley said.

Recycling of steel packaging in Europe has reached an all-time high of 76 per cent.

The announcement by the Association of European Producers of Steel for Packaging (APEAL) confirms steel as Europe’s most recycled packaging material for the tenth consecutive year.

The latest steel packaging recycling rate sees it pull further away from the sustainability credentials of other packaging materials.

The methodology and 2014 data sources used by APEAL for the calculation of this rate were independently reviewed, audited and certified by energy and waste specialist consultancy Eunomia.

APEAL secretary general Alexander Mohr said it is

steel’s inherent qualities that have contributed to it becoming Europe’s most recycled packaging material.

“Steel is easily and economically recovered from any waste stream thanks to its magnetic properties,” he said.

“As a permanent material, steel recycles forever with no loss of quality.

“However, our recycling success story goes far beyond that. The industry’s foresight in driving improvements and continuing work to inform brand and consumer packaging choice and environmental policy has led us to this point.

“By sharing best practices across Europe we are confident we will meet our self-imposed target of 80 per cent recycling by 2020.”

The Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association (MPMA), the body representing the UK’s metal packaging industry, has produced an animation illustrating that when it comes to metal packaging, what goes around comes around.

Centred on the Metal Recycling Mark – the logo developed and marketed by EMPAC to signify metal’s enduring value and environmental credentials – the video demonstrates its contribution to a circular economy.

The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has recognised Simplot packaging development manager Jason Goode with a 2016 Fellowship.

As reported by the AIP, the fellowship recognises a “significant and sustained contribution to the technology, science or application to packaging”.

The grade of fellow is the highest recognition possible for AIP members, with Mr Goode’s award one of only two fellowships conferred in 2016.

A long-time supporter of the AIP and Packaging Council of Australia, Mr Goode recently led a team from the Australian Food and Grocery Council, AIP and major packaging and FMCG businesses to produce a standard for packaging specifications.

The standard devised unifies information to ensure consistent communication

between packaging technologists, creating savings for businesses and adding value to data.

With 20 years’ experience in the packaging industry, Mr Goode brings a proven dedication to packaging technology and a depth of knowledge of the science of the industry that he shares passionately with those around him.

In a post on the AIP website the institute commended Mr Goode’s passion for packaging.

“Anyone that knows Jason can testify to his passion for sound, efficient, functional packaging and his willingness to get out in front of the industry and lead.

“It is this passion which has driven him and continues to this day. It is the strongest value to inherit and it is what makes him worthy of being elevated to the membership level of Fellow of the AIP.”

A raft of regulations poised for introduction by the Chinese government to change compliance requirements applied to goods purchased online from overseas manufacturers have been delayed for one year.

Designed to level the playing field for domestic producers and encourage consumption of domestic product, the regulations would require products purchased via e-commerce channels to meet Chinese regulations, including labelling.

Under the current regulatory system e-commerce products that meet or exceed standards in their country of origin are permitted.

Delayed until May 2017, the regulations

were a source of anxiety for Australia and New Zealand’s dairy industries and infant formula producers, with product compliance measures subject to protracted and potentially expensive approval measures.

Australian and NZ infant formula are among the most popular items purchased from Chinese e-commerce retail hub Tmall.

The announcement in part lead to a revision of a2 Milk Company’s operating earnings forecast, increasing the projection for group revenue by $10 million for FY2016.

An 11.9 per cent tax on online purchases from outside China levied since April 8 this year remains in place.

A sleeve of Easy Open (EZO) ends has found another life as an award-winning fashion creation.

Runner-up in the 2016 Hastings PAK’nSAVE Edible Fashion Awards went to a spectacular show of imagination by 15-year-old Hastings New Zealand local, Kate Rowland.

Ms Rowland competed in the M>PHOSIS Hair Studio Senior category with her submission titled ‘She Wolf Warrior’, created using 500 redundant EZO ends supplied by Jamestrong Packaging, New Zealand.

Contestants have unlimited creative freedom but must adhere to the theme; this year’s being ‘Fantastical’.

All designers are able to interpret the theme whichever way they see fit, but are only allowed to use edible food or food packaging to form their creations.

Kate’s mother Linda Rowland says her daughter was inspired by the strong, protective character of the she-wolf when creating the garment, using metal materials to enforce the theme.

“Kate likes to think outside the box with her designs and this is apparent as she was the only entrant out of the field of 45 to use can ends in her submission,” says Linda.

“She’s created articulating wings and other animal-related designs in previous

years, but this is the first time she’s been able to marry dress design with her love of wolves.

“Thank you to the Jamestrong team for the ends. Without them, Kate would not have had the materials to bring her imagination to life.”

The garment draws visual cues from ancient Roman military clothing, and is a homage to strong female protagonists portrayed by characters such as Xena Warrior Princess.

A range of heat treatments were applied to the aluminium ends to create a varied range of finishes, including the black and bronze-coloured ends featured on the shield.

The bodice, sleeves and shoulder plates are also created using the bronze-

coloured ends but Ms Rowland’s creativity did not stop there.

Kate has weaved the separated tab-pull rings to form a chainmail structure which covers the skirt and also forms the necklace accessory. A wolf mask, matching axe and fur-covered boots complement the dress and shield.

The annual Hastings PAK’nSAVE Edible Fashion Awards display some of New Zealand’s best young fashion designers at work, with a few outstanding previous entrants having their work recognised internationally.

Previous winner Tessa Paaymans was discovered in 2015 by London’s Oxford Fashion Studio and invited to display her work at the New York Fashion Show.
