The aluminium recycled sector remained quite spotlighted this week, primarily due to the Tata Motors proposal to build a 36,000 vehicle per year scrapping facility in Gujarat, India came down in a row with the country’s focus to increase domestic scrap metal processing capacity and diminish dependency on scrap imports. On the path, Ball Beverage Packaging’s India unit is diversifying its aluminium cans packaging offering to multiple other segments such as sparkling water, wine and alcoholic drinks i.e. whiskey, rum and vodka to cater for the surge in demand, due to aluminium 100% recycling feature.
