The aluminium can is the most eco-friendly type of packaging. It can be recycled infinitely. Moreover, it is affordable, lightweight, easy to transport, and has high barrier properties. This means it protects the drink from light, oxygen, and other harmful factors. I am confident that the signing of this agreement will have a positive impact on the development of the beverage market and the use of environmentally friendly aluminium containers in it.'

Daniil Briman, Chairman of the Board of the Union of Russian Brewers: 'The demand for aluminium cans in the brewing industry is constantly increasing.
