The new Rexona and Sure antiperspirant cans use Ball's patented ReAl technology to reduce product carbon footprint by 18%.

In a statement released by the manufacturer enforcing its environmental benefits. It said: “Ball's partnership with Unilever to lightweight their can using ReAl technology brings significant environmental benefits to the customer while providing the same can performance.”
The US-based company has previously created aluminum aerosol cans for Dove, Caprice and Schwarzkopf.
