THIRSTY Brits have boosted sales of beverage cans across the UK according to trade body the Can Makers. The industry delivered over 9.5bn empty cans in 2013, up 2.2% on 2012.
Graham Fenton, chairman of the UK Can Makers, commented, “I am delighted that the can market has topped 9.5bn. It shows that the drinks can remains a pack of choice for brewers and soft drink companies, retailers and consumers alike.
“It’s a real achievement in a year which has lacked the stimulus of big sporting events and saw the UK still suffering from tough economic times.”
