Sustainability
At Foshan Xintong Aluminum Can Manufacturing Co., Ltd., sustainability is embedded in every facet of our operations. We are committed to delivering innovative packaging solutions that balance environmental responsibility with technological advancement, ensuring long-term value for our clients and the planet.
1. Eco-Friendly Materials & Design
- Recyclable Aluminum Excellence: Aluminum, our core material, is infinitely recyclable with a global recycling rate exceeding 70%. We prioritize using post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum in our products, reducing reliance on virgin materials and lowering carbon footprints.
- Lightweighting for Efficiency: Through R&D, we’ve developed ultra-thin aluminum walls (as low as 0.007mm) without compromising durability, minimizing material waste and energy use during transportation.
- Toxic-Free Coatings: Our chromium-free passivation technology and water-based inks comply with FDA, EU 10/2011, and REACH standards, eliminating harmful substances in food-contact and cosmetic packaging.
2. Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
- Energy-Efficient Operations: Our smart factory integrates solar power systems, reducing grid electricity use by 30%. High-efficiency motors and LED lighting further cut energy consumption.
- Waste Reduction: A closed-loop water recycling system saves 50% of industrial water, while 95% of production waste (scrap metal, packaging materials) is recycled in partnership with certified facilities.
- Digitalized Quality Control: AI-powered MES systems optimize production workflows, reducing material scrap rates to below 2% and enhancing overall equipment efficiency (OEE) to 85%.
3. Circular Economy Leadership
- End-of-Life Solutions: We collaborate with recycling networks to promote aluminum can recycling programs, educating consumers and clients on the environmental benefits of reuse.
- Product Lifecycle Management: From design to disposal, we ensure our packaging is 100% recyclable and free of non-aluminum components, supporting global goals for a circular economy.
4. Social & Regulatory Compliance
- Ethical Sourcing: Our aluminum is sourced from Responsible Aluminum (RTA)-certified suppliers, ensuring conflict-free materials and fair labor practices.
- ISO Certifications: We maintain ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications, demonstrating our commitment to international standards.
- Community Engagement: Through partnerships with local NGOs, we fund reforestation projects and promote environmental education, aligning business growth with social impact.
5. Innovating for a Greener Future
- Research & Development: Our innovation center is pioneering biodegradable aluminum coatings and plant-based sealants, aiming to launch fully sustainable packaging solutions by 2028.
- Industry Collaboration: We actively participate in global initiatives like the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) to drive transparency and sustainability across the supply chain.
