“Recent events have intensified the drive for environmentally sustainable packaging as never before and it is vital that metal’s superb credentials in this respect are heard and understood,” added Robert Fell. “This is a big role and I very much looking forward to working with the association’s committees and the industry’s wider sector groups in meeting the challenges ahead of us.”
