ALFED Launches UK Aluminium Alliance: Our Soap Jars Ride the Eco-Train!

2025-06-27

1. Why We Joined the UK Aluminium Alliance Party

ALFED's new alliance is here to solve two big headaches for the aluminium industry:
  • Crazy high energy bills: UK aluminium factories pay 50% more for electricity than in Europe— the alliance is fighting to cut costs.
  • Wasted recycling: Only 51% of aluminium packaging gets recycled now; the goal is to hit 90%!
Why did Merrynewonjump on board? Because this alliance is all about what we do best: using recycled aluminium for soap jars and designing smart drainage trays to reduce waste—total "green vibes" matching the alliance's mission!Check out ALFED's mission here

2. The Alliance's 5 Goals—Perfect for Our Soap Jars

The alliance plans to do 5 things, and our soap jars nod along:
  • Lower energy costs: Cheaper power for aluminium factories means lower costs for us.
  • Boost recycling: More UK recycled aluminium means we can source cheaper materials.
  • Train new talent: The alliance will train welders, making it easier for us to hire skilled workers.
  • Build a circular economy: Aiming for 90% recycling—our jars are already 100% recyclable!
  • Lobby for policies: The alliance will talk to the government, maybe bringing us eco-subsidies.

3. Our Soap Jars: The Alliance's Cool Poster Kids

Big players in the alliance are doing awesome things:
  • ALVANCE makes green aluminium with hydropower—we can use this low-carbon metal for jars.
  • Austal uses aluminium to build lighter ships—just like our jars are 1/3 the weight of glass!
    But our soap jars bring the everyday eco-vibes:
    ✅ 8 rounds of testing for the drainage tray—no more mushy soap!
    ✅ Custom designs like daisy engravings—boutique hotels love them.
    ✅ The alliance wants to cut bathroom plastic—our jars are the perfect example!
