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

Frozen
Canned
The most energy
effective method for
product delivery is
canned-ready meals
followed by bulk
refrigerated products
and fresh fruits &
vegetables.
Frozen products
require about 70%
more energy to bring
the food from the
farm to the table.
