and long-term sustainability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <strong>real costs<\/strong> reveal clear advantages for metal: its strength reduces losses and returns, its stackability optimizes

Both aluminium and steel have recycling rates of 82% and can be recycled indefinitely, while plastic barely reaches 42% and loses quality with every cycle.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><strong>Consumer perception<\/strong> also plays a role: metal packaging is associated with higher quality products, food safety, and environmental commitment \u2014 aspects that strengthen brand image and premium positioning.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In conclusion, rather than simply choosing between metal or plastic, companies should consider which type of packaging best aligns with their business strategy and sustainability values.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When total cost and global impact are taken into account, metal stands out as a <strong>competitive and responsible
