Tariffs: US targets metals
• Aluminium +10%, steel +25% all countries (few exceptions)
• Immediate consequence: domestic metal price increases
• Republican senators ‘shocked’: what were they expecting?
• US steel industry does not supply special needs of can-makers, especially wide coil DWI steel
• Higher US Dollar reduces impact on exporters

The changing perception of plastic
• For many years plastics have enjoyed high growth and a favourable consumer image. Favourite material for Marketing:
• Modern
• Lightweight
• Interesting shapes
• Soft touch
• Bright colours
Then came the David Attenborough documentary for BBC TV…

Public perception of plastic has reversed• 8 million tonnes of plastic waste finds its way to the ocean every year
• Top three items: cigarette ends, plastic bottles, plastic bottle caps
• Plastic recycling is limited: Europe 30%, US 9%, China 25%
• Recycling only recovers 5% of its value
• Today’s plastic waste will last 10 million years and be intact in the fossil record (Professor Dan Watson)

• Tesco lists Can-0 water in 700 UK stores
• 92% of the UK population are concerned about the impact plastic pollution in the oceans will have on future generations*
• More than three quarters (78%) wanted to reduce their use of single-use plastics*
• Dutch retail chain Ekoplaza creates plastic-free zone in 74 supermarkets
• The British Queen bans plastic bottles on all royal properties
• 40 countries worldwide have banned or taxed plastic bags at check-outs
• UK Government considering plastic tax : plastic as the new ‘sin’?*YouGuv research in the UK, 2000 respondents, August 2018

Huge opportunity for metal
• Metal and glass are the only materials of value in the waste stream
• Nearly all metal is recycled and recycling pays for itself
• Plastic is lower cost, but does not pay for the cost of its disposal. Real cost will narrow the gap.
• Metal can match many of the advantages of plastic: • Shapes• Lightweight• Soft touch• Bright colours• Re-sealable

Where is the opportunity?• No sugar, low sugar
• ‘Water plus’
• New flavours
• New brands
• Authentic
• Pure
• Premium
