Russian indus min can consider aluminum beer can incentives
MOSCOW, Oct 2 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Industry and Trade Ministry is ready to discuss preferences for the sales of beer in aluminum cans to support deep aluminum recycling, Minister Denis Manturov said on Tuesday.
On Monday, Kommersant business daily reported that the Industry and Trade Ministry had prepared a bill to lift a 2013 ban on the sales of beer and alcoholic drinks in aluminum cans through stands and kiosks and cancel a prohibition on the sales of beer at night to help the sanction-hit business of tycoon Oleg Deripaska.
Manturov said, “We are ready to discuss these scenarios as well … I hope other producers, recyclers of primary aluminum will emerge. RUSAL is a producer of primary aluminum.”
He said that the measures would not benefit the sanctioned company.
