The Aluminium Federation (ALFED) has launched a comprehensive industry-wide survey to capture the current state of the UK aluminium sector. While the initiative focuses on aluminium, its findings carry broader significance for the entire metal packaging industry, including tin packaging manufacturers.
Organized by the Aluminium Federation (ALFED), the survey aims to identify opportunities for growth, investment, and innovation, while also addressing critical challenges such as sustainability targets, skills shortages, and rising operational costs.
Industry Expansion – Exploring new areas for innovation, automation, and job creation.
Policy Advocacy – Collecting data to influence government support and trade policies.
Sustainability Focus – Tracking progress on recycling, carbon reduction, and circular economy practices.
Workforce Development – Understanding talent needs and training gaps across the supply chain.
As governments and industries worldwide move toward stricter environmental targets and economic resilience, initiatives like this survey serve as valuable references for tin box manufacturers, recyclers, and suppliers to align their strategies with broader industry trends.
“It’s essential that businesses across the metal sector have a voice,” said ALFED CEO Nadine Bloxsome. “This data will help shape funding, policies, and future development for the entire supply chain.”
Insights from this survey will be shared with relevant UK government bodies, strengthening the positioning of metal-related industries as part of the country's green and industrial strategy.
