Caps Closures Companies

June 2023

The world's largest manufacturer of wine and spirit closures, Amcor Capsules, and European aluminum supplier Aludium have worked together to create a low-carbon aluminum alternative for screw caps. A minimum of a 50% reduction in carbon footprint is projected when comparing the carbon footprint of this certified and independently verified aluminum product to the normal carbon footprint of basic aluminum products sold and used throughout Europe.

Distributors and brands of wine and spirits should have a more environmentally responsible choice with the use of aluminum screw caps.

Apart from this, the screw caps follow the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards. These certifications were obtained following the conclusion of a protracted certification process that was completed by both Amcor Capsules and Aludium. Customers of Aludium and Amcor Capsules will have complete information regarding the carbon impact of aluminum thanks to these certificates.
