The packaging was developed jointly by the UACJ Corporation and Toyo Seiko Group Holdings, Ltd. and will be used by the Suntory Group's The Premium Malt limited edition products in Japan. The can is reported to produce 60% less CO2 than a virgin aluminum alternative, which will give it an eco-friendly edge over the competition.
