“While the Aluminum Association has studied the production and recycling of beverage cans previously, we knew less about other phases of the beverage lifecycle, particularly the GHG impacts and energy use associated with the transportation and refrigeration of aluminum beverage containers. We turned to ICF to develop this new research considering emissions associated with the service life of the product – the so-called “use phase.” We valued their perspective and experience to objectively assess any potential sustainability advantages of the aluminum can during this portion of the beverage lifecycle.”
