Sustainability 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 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

Sustained Concern Over

Packaging Impact on the

Environment

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
