Sustainability Goals at Can CorpSustainability Goals at Can Corp

• Reduction of Energy

• Reduction of materials used

• Higher Productivity-Engineered

• Less labor per thousand units

• Recycling all Steel components

Facts about Food CansFacts about Food Cans

• All steel cans are recyclable• All steel cans contain up to

25% recycled steel• Recycling one ton of steel saves

80% of the CO2 emissions• Recycling seven steel cans

saves enough energy to power a 60 Watt light bulb for 26 hours

• Each household uses approx 600 Steel cans per year

• For every ton of Steel recycled Environmental Savings are:

• 1.5 Tons of iron Ore• 0.5 Tons of Coal• 40% of the water required to

produce one ton• 75% of the Energy needed to

make Steel from virgin materials

• 1.28 tons of Solid Waste reduction of Air Emissions

Metal cans remain the most recyclable packaging form

• Metal cans continue to be the most recycled form of packaging, far exceeding the recycling rates of glass and plastic.

• Only half of Americans feel paperboard is recyclable, and just one-third believe pouches can be recycled (57% and 33%, respectively).

• Metal cans are 100 % recyclable
