Aluminum Shortage Impacting Cat Food & Beer
Aluminum Shortage Impacting Cat Food & Beer
알루미늄 부족으로 인해 영향받는 고양이 사료와 맥주
Aluminum 1is in short supply and that’s leading to shortages in both the 2cat food aisle and at your local 3brewery.
“We are actually having aluminum demand 4spikes within the United States and around the world.”
Seckin Ozkul, assistant professor of Supply Chain Management from the University of South Florida, says we can blame 5labor shortages, the pandemic and the on-going 6supply chain crisis. Production isn’t meeting up with demand and China’s 7pollution crackdown is driving aluminum manufacturing even further.
“Basically decrease the production by approximately 10 to 20% worldwide.”
Ozkul says 8pet adoptions soared during the pandemic and are still strong... raising that demand for cat food. And as some retailers take measures to 9eliminate aluminum packaging, aluminum isn’t the only problem cat food sellers are dealing with.
“We don’t have enough meat products that go into that cat food. And the main reason really for this is our workforce.”
The aluminum shortage and price increases are also having a major impact on small breweries across the country. Demand for aluminum 10canned products skyrocketed during the pandemic as alcohol consumption rose and breweries shifted to 11to-go models.
“Pretty much everything has gotten more expensive... most notably our packaging, so the aluminum cans, and lids and everything really everything we use connected to the canning of the product.”
