Sustainable Packaging Partnerships
We partner with packaging producers and brands to accelerate the transition toward fully circular, lower emission packaging solutions. Through innovation in materials and production processes, we help you reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance and efficiency.
Lightweighting through advanced steel
We actively drive downgauging innovations that enable thinner steel without compromising strength, safety, or product integrity. By optimizing material usage and developing new can designs, we help customers significantly reduce resource consumption and CO₂ impact. Every gram saved contributes directly to greater sustainability and cost efficiency.
Low-carbon steel developments
Through our Zeremis® propositions, we support packaging customers in progressing their decarbonization journey. Zeremis focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions across the entire steel production chain. Through increased use of scrap, energy efficiency, and new ways if working. By offering lower-emission steel solutions and CO₂-reduced product options, we enable you to significantly cut the carbon footprint of our steel for your packaging while maintaining performance and quality. This allows you to meet tightening regulatory requirements and accelerate further carbon reduction projects at Tata Steel Nederland.
Closed-loop scrap solutions
For customers within economical proximity of our steel plant, our scrap buy-back solutions enable a closed material loop. We can collect steel scrap from your packaging production processes and reintegrate it as high-quality recycled content in our steelmaking operations. This not only reduces waste, but also secures a reliable and circular material flow that benefits both partners.
Proven recyclability of steel packaging
Steel packaging is one of the most recycled materials globally. In Europe, steel packaging achieves an average recycling rate of around 84%, outperforming many alternative packaging materials. Thanks to its permanent material properties, steel can be recycled endlessly without loss of quality. Making it a cornerstone of a truly circular packaging economy.
Innovation in coatings and safety
We continuously innovate to improve both the safety and sustainability of steel packaging through advanced product solutions such as Protact® and TCCT® (Tata Steel Chromium-Coated Technology). Protact® is a polymer-coated steel that eliminates the need for traditional lacquers, helping simplify manufacturing processes while reducing environmental impact. TCCT® offers a chromium-based alternative to electrolytic tinplate, supporting resource efficiency and regulatory compliance. Together, these solutions help customers transition to safer, more sustainable packaging materials without compromising on performance, protection, or design flexibility.
Data transparency and lifecycle insights
We provide robust, data-driven insights to support your sustainability ambitions and reporting needs. Our Environmental Profiles (EPs) are independently verified and aligned with recognized standards, giving you reliable data on key indicators such as CO₂ emissions.
