According to the press service of Rusal, over the period 2023-2025, the need of the Russian market for aluminum food containers increased by about 40%. At the same time, the industry is experiencing a shortage of high-quality products of this category. Own production will allow the company to optimize costs and guarantee stable characteristics of manufactured products.

It is planned that some of the containers produced will be sent to federal retail chains, which should contribute to the wider distribution of aluminum packaging among end consumers. Company representatives emphasize the advantages of new products over alternative materials.

Aluminum containers have chemical inertia to food products, which eliminates the possibility of undesirable reactions when in contact with food. The products meet safety requirements for human health and meet environmental standards due to the possibility of 100% processing.^[1]
