SABMiller finds way of reducing raw material costs for bottles

SABMiller has announced that its Peruvian subsidiary, Backus, in co-operation with Packaging Products Peru, has developed a new, low-gauge bottle crown that will significantly reduce the amount of steel used in production and have a positive impact on the group's raw material costs and C02 emissions. Using conservative estimates, the new low-gauge crown could reduce the amount of steel required across SABMiller's global production platform by at least 10% a year, enough to build London another Olympic stadium.
