Dela­maris fish in 100% recy­clable packaging

Cans are becom­ing increas­ing­ly pop­u­lar because they ensure good pro­tec­tion from mechan­i­cal impact, and are water, gas and microor­gan­ism resistant.

Pack­ag­ing structure

Met­al pack­ag­ing has been pre­serv­ing and pro­tect­ing food for more than 200 years but the mate­ri­als and coat­ings have changed; today, the food indus­try uses steel tin­plate and alu­mini­um. The first can was devel­oped in 1810 for trans­port con­ve­nience and food shelf-life exten­sion. Cans are still used today.

Dela­maris is heav­i­ly invest­ed in new alu­mini­um fish pack­ing tech­nol­o­gy to make its prod­ucts eas­i­er to open, lighter to trans­port and high­ly recy­clable. Alu­mini­um is the third most com­mon mate­r­i­al in nature, just after oxy­gen and sil­i­con; it is very con­ve­nient for pack­ag­ing because it’s cor­ro­sion and sound resis­tant, and our cans are coat­ed with a thin lay­er of it to pre­vent sub­stance trans­fer between pack­ag­ing and con­tent and pro­vide exter­nal impact pro­tec­tion. Dela­maris alu­mini­um cans have a BPA free, no bisphe­nol A, coat­ing to main­tain food quality.

Alu­mini­um is 100% recyclable

Each tonne of recy­cled alu­mini­um pre­vents 9.5 tonnes of CO2 envi­ron­men­tal nui­sance because of the low amount of ener­gy used in its pro­duc­tion. The pro­duc­tion of 100% recy­cled alu­mini­um con­sumes 95% less ener­gy than the pro­duc­tion of alu­mini­um from new raw mate­ri­als. The per­cent­age for steel pro­duc­tion is only 75%.

Less pack­ag­ing, more care for the environment

When chang­ing from tin­plate to alu­mini­um pack­ag­ing, Dela­maris also ren­o­vat­ed its design, which elim­i­nat­ed sec­ondary pack­ag­ing for the major­i­ty of its prod­ucts, there­by deliv­er­ing addi­tion­al ener­gy sav­ings and fur­ther pro­tect­ing the environment.
