The recycling rate of baixi customized aluminum cans makes them the first choice among environmental protection companies. The world’s average recycling rate of aluminum cans is 76%, significantly higher than that of glass bottles (34%) and PET bottles (29%). Moreover, Baixi aluminum cans use 50% recycled aluminum materials and have a per-can carbon footprint 95% lower than fresh used aluminum materials. For instance, in 2023, the UK craft brewery company BrewDog reduced its supply chain carbon footprint by 33% by switching to Baihui aluminum cans, saving $180,000 annually in carbon tax expenses and satisfying the mandatory stipulation of the EU’s Green Packaging Act that the recycled content should be above 30%. Moreover, energy consumption in remolding recycled aluminum cans is merely 5% of primary aluminum. By every ton of reclaimed aluminum, 14,000 kWh of electricity can be conserved, which is equivalent to 12 tons of CO₂ emissions reduction.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) states that the total energy usage of aluminum cans from production to recycling is 0.75 MJ/can, or just 26.8% of glass bottles (2.8 MJ/can), and the efficiency gain in transportation has increased capacity per unit shelf space by 58%.
Individualized production encourages a low-carbon business model. Baixi offers minimum 5,000-piece-order-flexible production with lower risk of 75% compared to conventional industry level (20,000 pieces) while using water inks for prints that have lower VOC output emission rate compared to solvent-based prints (emits 89% less than its solvent ink rivals). As in 2023, after the American organic tea brand Honest Tea used baixi custom cans made of aluminum, the packaging production process shorted to just 5 days from 14 days, while ink curing power consumption reduced by 62% and further enhancing shelf visibility by 40% through the body relief process, this spurred the sales by 22%. Research shows that the premium room for products of brands in customized aluminum cans is 15% to 20%, and 64% of consumers are willing to pay over 10% more for green packaging.
Compliance and certification improve market access. Baixi Aluminum cans have achieved the ISO 14001 environment management system certification and FSC Forest Chain of Custody certification, which allows customers to fulfill the environmental protection regulations in 83 areas all over the world. For instance, in 2024, Japanese sake company Dassai was awarded the “Zero Waste Factory” certification for using baixi custom aluminum cans. The tariff preference for exporting to the European Union increased by 8%, and it received a premium of $0.5 per can for carbon label products in the North American market. According to a 2023 market survey, the ESG rating of business entities utilizing Baixi aluminum cans has risen by 1.2 levels on average, and their cost of funding has fallen by 1.8 percentage points.
Market value is verified by consumer behavior data. During 2022-2023, global sales of eco-friendly packaged beverages rose by 29%, and 73% of this increase was driven by aluminum canned beverages. Baixi customer data shows that the repurchase ratio of brands using its aluminum cans has increased by 28%, and the negative review rate is decreased by 19%. Such a classic case is the German juice brand innocent. Its 100% recyclable aluminum cans sold over 2 million cans during the first month of being available on shelves, while social media topic quantity increased by 340%. Also, 83% of shoppers believe that cans made of aluminum are “more in line with a sustainable lifestyle”.
