Abstract: La présente invention concerne un couvercle (1) de protection, hermétiquement scellé, en aluminium ou tout autre matériau pouvant convenir afin de protéger, d'un point de vue hygiénique, la partie supérieure d'une boîte-boisson, son ouverture déchirable et la boisson qu'elle contient, son profil étant le même que celui du couvercle de la boîte-boisson sur lequel il est posé. Grâce à la cannelure (2) qui sert d'attache, l'accouplement de la boîte et du couvercle (1) de protection peut être solidement maintenu. En outre, étant donné que la boîte-boisson possède les mêmes dimensions (circonférence) aussi bien dans sa partie supérieure que dans sa partie inférieure, le couvercle (1) encapsule et contient ladite partie inférieure de la boîte. Le couvercle (1) n'est donc pas dispersé dans l'environnement après ouverture par le consommateur et peut ainsi être recyclé conjointement à la boite à laquelle il est fixé.
