Beiersdorf raises recycled aluminium content in Nivea tin to 95%
Beiersdorf has increased the recycled aluminium content of its Nivea Creme tin to 95%, up from 80% in 2024, in partnership with aluminium producer Novelis. The higher-recycled-content tin has been sold in Germany since early 2026 and will be extended across Europe and other markets from 2027.
