BCME (Beverage Can Makers Europe) is a non-profit-making trade body that represents Europe's leading drinks can manufacturers. Our goal is to maximise market opportunities for the beverage can and proactively position and support the positive attributes and image of the can relative to other beverage packaging alternatives through coordinated marketing, environmental, legislative and technical initiatives.
Our activities include:
- Communicating the can's benefits as a drinks package to fillers, retailers and consumers across Europe in a consistent and dynamic way
- Commissioning and distributing research demonstrating the can's advantages
- Monitoring the beverage can's environmental performance and supporting recycling programmes
- Coordinating with policymakers and stakeholders for the benefit of our members
- Ensuring members' compliance with technical and
legal standards
