Descrição
Resumo:AbstractPaper aims: Map the life cycle of metal packaging, investigate the barriers and enablers to the adoption of circular practices in the steel packaging sector in Brazil.subject of study: Consist of adoption of a circular model of production and consumption, in which post-consumer raw materials are reintegrated into their respective value chains.Research method: A literature review is combined with qualitative research involving key sector experts to examine how the Brazilian steel packaging sector can transition to a more circular value chain.Main findings: This research indicate that steel packaging has the potential to join a group of products with closed-loop production cycles and that steel can be recycled indefinitely without losing the original properties. Implications for theory and practice: If endless recycling of steel raw materials, there will be no need to mine new ore for new steel packaging.
