Ball Corporation and LOA Brewery have just become the first beer cans in Chile to receive the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certification. 

The ASI seal, present on the new cans produced by Ball for Otra Ronda Amber Ale and Minga Loca West Coast IPA beers, guarantees that the aluminium used meets the highest environmental and social standards, reinforcing the commitment to sustainability throughout the value chain.

Ball says this achievement reaffirms its role as a strategic partner for its customers seeking more sustainable solutions for their packaging, promoting a circular economy and environmental responsibility in the beverage sector.

ASI is a multi-stakeholder certification that looks at sustainable performance throughout the value chain; from mining and manufacture, through to recycling. It provides assurance for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. 

As consumers demand greater sustainability across packaged goods, ASI aims to make responsible sourcing and sustainability performance a mainstream, viable issue.

Additionally, ASI:

• Enables the aluminium industry and users of aluminium to demonstrate responsibility and provide independent and credible assurance of performance
• Reinforces and promotes consumer and stakeholder confidence in aluminium products
• Reduces repetitional risks concerning aluminium
• Addresses the expressed needs by downstream users and consumers for responsible sourcing of aluminium.
