In 1964, the wine industry was transformed by the launch of STELVIN®—the first-ever screw cap designed specifically for wine. Now, 60 years later, Amcor Capsules is once again leading the way with a major innovation: a greener version of the iconic STELVIN® cap that significantly reduces its carbon footprint.

Lower Emissions, Same Trusted Quality

The new STELVIN® screw cap is the first low-carbon emission aluminum wine cap on the market. Through the integration of up to 46% recycled aluminum and the use of certified low-carbon primary aluminum, the production of each cap now emits up to 35% less carbon than a standard screw cap made with traditional European aluminum sheets.

This step forward is independently verified and reflects Amcor Capsules' broader sustainability mission.

Sustainable Options Go Even Further

Brands seeking additional environmental benefits can now choose the PVDC-free STELVIN® INSIDE liner, offering a more eco-conscious alternative without compromising performance.

The greener STELVIN® cap is now available across Europe, North America, and South America for both wine and spirits brands, and applies to all 30H60 screw caps produced in those regions.

Part of the TRANSPARENCE Program

This product upgrade is a key milestone within Amcor Capsules’ TRANSPARENCE program, launched in 2023 to drive continuous sustainability improvements throughout the wine and spirits industry supply chain.

“We were the market pioneers in 1964 with the launch of the first screw cap for wine,” says Yannick Magnon, General Manager of Amcor Capsules. “Since then, STELVIN® has set the standard for both quality and sustainability. This new evolution helps our customers meet their environmental goals while continuing to deliver top-tier performance.”

A Step Toward Net Zero

The new STELVIN® development aligns with Amcor’s larger climate commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aiming to reach net zero emissions by 2050. It also underscores the company’s dedication to increasing the use of recycled materials and reducing the environmental impact of packaging at scale.
