Consumer Convenience Technologies (CCT) has announced an aluminium lug version of its EEASY Lid, which allows consumers to vent a jar by pressing a button on the lid for easier opening. Easy-open aluminium lug lid unveiled - The Aluminium Federation

According to CCT, its patented EEASY Lid reduces the amount of torque needed to twist off a jar lid by more than 58% for traditional lug lids and 40% compared to standard continuous thread (CT) lids. This can make packaging more accessible for disabled consumers or consumers with reduced mobility, for which opening a jar can be incredibly difficult and result in them avoiding particular products.

CCT claims that EEASY Lid will be the world’s first aluminium lug lid. The use of aluminium rather than steel, the metal lug lids are typically made from, reportedly makes the new EEASY Lid the more sustainable option.
