The best sales on in the cola and carbonated tea segments. This growth is partially due to innovations which increasingly meet consumer needs. The improvement in the manufacturing process for the diameter of the lid dropped to six centimetres. The weight of the cans decreased from 80 grams to 20 grams for steel cans and to 11 grams for aluminium cans. For ecological reasons, the coating on the inside of the can is now water-based. The recycling of these cans has reached a 44% rate, up 10%.
