Our products
EN-Packaging-Product-Protact TSUK
Protact laminated steel is food-safe and optimised for efficient, sustainable canmaking with opportunities for differentiated brand performance. It is a proven material solution across a number of high-performance canmaking applications and formats.
EN-Packaging-Products-Tinplate
HILUMIN is an electro nickel-plated diffusion annealed steel strip for battery applications where low contact resistance and high corrosion resistance is required. Manufactured using an ultra-clean steel grade, it plays an integral part in the production of batteries.
EN-Packaging-Products-ECCS
Well-proven in a range of applications, our tin-free packaging steel (ECCS) delivers reliable quality for efficient processing. A new coating under development will ensure Tata Steel’s tin-free steel continues to be REACH-compliant.
Steel is the world’s most recycled packaging material. It protects and preserves its contents and helps to reduce waste by offering a long shelf life. Steel packaging is easy to recover from mixed waste streams and can be recycled over and over again with no loss of quality.
At Tata Steel, we are committed to playing our part in moving towards a sustainable global society. As a major producer of steel for packaging, we invest time, expertise and money in operations and initiatives that both promote and deliver sustainability in packaging.
We take action to:
- recycle steel packaging on a huge scale. This is facilitated through our Packaging Recycling department in the UK which also promotes the benefits of recycling
- demonstrate our full commitment to the circular economy
- play our part in ensuring an effective regulatory environment for steel packaging by supporting the action required to achieve recycling targets
- ensure our packaging complies with REACH regulations – as in our work on REACH and chromium-free passivation
- deliver benefits from steel recycling by working in partnership with others
Our technical approach optimises production processes, reduces costs and focuses on continuously improving the performance of packaging steel. We draw on our knowledge and experience to develop new grades for the future.
Tata Steel is committed to the future of packaging steel and it shows in our innovative approach to steelmaking and tinplate production. We translate technical production and market knowledge into effective development programmes. By entering into initiatives across the supply chain, we ensure more effective delivery.
Whether it's lighter, more sustainable steel, the latest process engineering development, or the newest food safety legislation, we have both the strong supply chain involvement and the market-aware technology to deliver tomorrow's steel packaging.
