The more than 30 million aluminum beverage cans recycled each year from the two most recent grants will generate more than $500,000 in revenue, avoiding the CO2 equivalent emissions of driving more than 7.6 million miles.
The product is being highlighted at Paris Packaging Week 2025, where it is a finalist in the event’s Aerosol and Dispensing Forum (ADF) Innovation Awards.
The aluminum coffee pod addresses the environmental crisis caused by the 40 million plastic coffee pods that end up in landfills and oceans every day, offering a more eco-friendly and high-quality alternative.
These two grants are in addition to the four that AMP and Crown have previously funded as part of a program in collaboration with The Recycling Partnership.
The data shows that today more than 70% of the material used in aluminum cans is recycled into new products – almost double that of glass (34%) and plastic (40%)
Over the next several months, the entire collection of nine cruelty-free, non-GMO flavors of Dr. Sheffield's Certified Natural Toothpaste will be transitioned to fully recyclable aluminum tubes.
