Tata Steel’s Electrifying Packaging Steel campaign decarbonizes steel production for the packaging sector using Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology. The company says that the EAF process can produce high-grade steel with the same quality, formability, and AA+ food safety standards as traditional methods. This makes the material suitable for packaging everyday products like baked beans, aerosols, and paint cans. Packaging Insights speaks to Adrian Davies, marketing manager at Tata Steel UK, about the campaign and the effect of the UK’s packaging EPR on the steel industry. We also discuss the importance of decarbonizing the steel packaging industry, and the company’s upgraded facility in Wales, UK.
