- Aluminium has good strength to weight ratio so can's can be made thinner (saving money as less material is used) yet still have the required strength.

- Aluminium has a very low density, it is a light metal.

- Aluminium is sufficiently resistant to corrosion.

- Aluminium is cheaper.

- Aluminium is 100 % recyclable.
