Lightweight aluminium can solution won the ADF Sustainable Innovation Award 2025

Ball Corporation, one of the leading providers of sustainable aluminium packages for beverages, personal care, and home products, won the ADF Sustainable Innovation Award at the Global Aerosol & Dispensing forum (ADF) Innovation Awards during the Paris Packaging Week 2025 for its 150ml can developed in collaboration with Henkel for its body care brand „Fa“. This new lightweight aerosol can features Ball´s proprietary ReAl Gen 2 alloy, designed to meet the growing demand for sustainability in packaging while ensuring compliance with critical industry standards. This advanced material allows for even greater lightweighting while ensuring the can maintains structural integrity, pressure resistance and supply chain durability. Launched in September 2024, the award winning ReAl Gen 2 can is the lightest impact-extruded aerosol can available in Europe (according to Ball), making it a major step in reducing the carbon footprint of packaging materials.
