Sanjay Bhatia: Metal packaging is the most sustainable material

Sanjay Bhatia, president, Metal Container Manufacturers Association (MCMA), and managing director of Hindustan Tin Works addressed the gathering at the Responsible Packaging in Hotel The Lalit, Mumbai on 8 June. Bhatia pointed out that while plastic has become a vital part of everyday life, experts warn that its annual production could treble over current levels by 2060. He warned, “At the current recycling rate of 9% that would be a recipe for disaster."
