MetalFlow 2025 has been produced to support Defra in understanding the flow of aluminium and steel packaging in the UK. Using a 2017 baseline, the report examines packaging placed on the market (POM), current recycling levels, and projected future trends to 2025.
The study also considers UK and European compliance implications of projected figures, ensuring that policy decisions are supported by accurate data. With error margins and robustness assessments applied throughout, MetalFlow 2025 provides a reliable evidence base to guide packaging strategy, recycling performance, and long-term planning across the metals sector.
Valpak’s Plastic PackFlow 2025 Methodology Review strengthens the methodologies used to estimate UK plastic packaging placed on the market, introducing updated 2024 baseline data, improved robustness assessments, and evidence to support packaging policy, regulatory development, and informed industry decision-making.
