Ball Corporation recently won a 2017 Aerosol Dispensing Forum (ADF) Innovation Award for its L'Oreal Men Expert antiperspirant can, which is produced using Ball's ReAl technology.
Ball's ReAl technology provides increased strength and allows Ball to lightweight this product by approximately 20 percent, which results in an estimated carbon footprint reduction of 18 percent for a 150-milliliter aerosol can when compared to a standard can.
"It's a great honor to be recognized for our commitment to sustainability and we applaud L'Oreal for their commitment as well," said award recipient Stan Platek, VP and GM at Ball Aerocan. "This product proves that you can have beautiful and environmentally sustainable packaging that is also cost-effective. It's a win-win for everyone, and something that we are going to see more and more of,"
The ADF Innovation Awards, now in their second year, recognize outstanding achievements and encourage the industry to push the boundaries with technological and creative innovations in aerosol, dispensing, personal care and cosmetic packaging.
Ball was recognized in the ADF Industrial & Technical Suppliers' Application category.
