October 31, 2023

Amcor Capsules claims a 35% reduction in the carbon footprint of its STELVIN screw caps through the use of primary aluminum with low carbon content and incorporating up to 46% recycled materials in production.

For spirits and wine brands, STELVIN screw caps and all 30H60 closures manufactured in Europe, North America, South America and now emit less carbon than conventional screw caps made from European aluminium. This improvement is the result of the use of certified low-carbon and recycled aluminium, independently verified.

“We pioneered the market in 1964 with the launch of the first screw cap for wine. Since then, STELVIN has been recognised and praised by winemakers around the world as a benchmark for quality and as one of the most sustainable closure solutions in the industry. We always aim for the best for our customers, and we wanted to go the extra mile to help them achieve their own sustainability goals,” said Amcor Capsules Managing Director Yannick Magnon.
