Aluminium packaging provider Ball Corporation has partnered with A\u00e7a\u00ed Motion, a Brazilian brand of natural energy drinks, to introduce a new line of sustainable aluminium cans, certified by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI).<\/p>\n

The new ASI-certified cans ensure that rigorous environmental, social, and governance practices are being followed throughout the products\u2019 production chain, from mining to manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The certification promotes transparency and sustainable responsibility, allowing consumers to make informed choices.<\/p>\n

The cans\u2019 design features Ball\u2019s exclusive internal coating technology, which maintains the beverage\u2019s flavour and nutritional value while extending its shelf life.<\/p>\n

This aligns with consumer expectations and provides A\u00e7a\u00ed Motion with a competitive edge in the market, Ball said.<\/p>\n

This partnership supports a circular economy in the beverage packaging sector.<\/p>\n

Ball South America sustainability director\u00a0Tamires Silvestre said: \u201cAt Ball, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that combine sustainability and performance. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur collaboration with A\u00e7a\u00ed Motion is a perfect example of how we can support visionary brands in expanding their businesses globally with responsible, high-performance packaging.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ball\u2019s strategic partnership with A\u00e7a\u00ed Motion, which has presence in over 60 countries, supports the latter\u2019s aim to meet increasing global demand and reinforce its market presence.<\/p>\n

The brand\u2019s natural energy drink, made from sustainably harvested a\u00e7a\u00ed and guarana, is noted for its healthy composition, being free of taurine and relatively low in sugar.<\/p>\n

A\u00e7a\u00ed Motion founder and chair Rafael Aun Ming said: \u201cThe partnership with Ball allows us to take our product to new levels of quality and sustainability. Having our beverages packaged in ASI-certified cans is a crucial competitive advantage in the global market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, Ball reported net sales of $3.09bn<\/a> for the first quarter of 2025, marking a 7.7% rise from $2.87bn in the same period last year.<\/p>\n
