From PCR Aluminum Slugs to Aerosol Cans: How Sigma Achieves 100% Closed-Loop Recycling

At Henan Sigma, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a fundamental principle embedded in every step of our production. As global demand for environmentally friendly packaging rises, we are proud to offer a complete closed-loop recycling system that turns post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum into high-quality bottles, helping brands reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on performance.

♻️ The Journey: From Waste to Worth

Our closed-loop process begins with the collection of post-consumer aluminum materials — such as used beverage cans — which are cleaned, sorted, and melted down. Through advanced refining techniques, we transform this recycled aluminum into high-purity PCR aluminum slugs.

These slugs are then used to manufacture premium aluminum packaging products, including aluminum bottles and aerosol cans, delivering the same strength, durability, and surface finish as virgin material — but with a significantly lower environmental impact.

🌍 A Full Life Cycle of Sustainability

Our PCR aluminum slugs and bottles follow a full life-cycle sustainability model:

• Raw Material Recovery: Collection of used aluminum packaging

• Melting & Purification: Removing impurities without adding excessive energy use

• Slug Manufacturing: Producing clean, uniform PCR aluminum slugs in our ISO-certified plant

• Bottle Production: Shaping slugs into reusable and recyclable aluminum bottles

• Back to Recycling: Once used, these bottles can be recycled again — endlessly

This cycle not only conserves natural resources but also reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 95% compared to primary aluminum.

✅ Sigma’s Green Manufacturing System

Our manufacturing base is designed around low-carbon operations and green energy solutions. With a strong focus on process efficiency, waste minimization, and emissions control, Sigma delivers consistent quality while upholding environmental responsibility. Every PCR slug undergoes strict quality inspection to meet the forming and extrusion needs of the most demanding industries, including cosmetics, personal care, and food-grade packaging.

We are proud to support global sustainability goals by supplying materials to brands that value recyclability, circular economy practices, and climate-smart packaging.
