PackFlow Refresh 2023: Aluminium

The PackFlow 2023 Aluminium Report provides the latest evidence on UK aluminium packaging, what’s placed on the market (POM), how it’s collected and recycled, and where recovered material goes. It updates the baseline to 2022 and models scenarios through 2027 to highlight potential EPR compliance risks against recycling targets.

Phase 1 resets the data baseline (POM, collections, recycling, end markets). Phase 2 adds market intelligence, forward scenarios, and a clear view of risks and opportunities for producers and policymakers. Robustness checks and error margins are included to support confident planning.
