Aluminum cans

Made with aluminum in the US, and a steel-aluminum mix outside the US.

  • Lighweight metal cans with a pop top.

  • The most common metals used for packaging are steel, tin, and aluminum.

    • Metals are a nonrenewable resource, but the upside is that they can be recycled endlessly.

    • Metal can be more lightweight than glass, which reduces transit emissions. Plus it's not breakable.

    • It also has the water resistant properties of plastic.

  • Since metal is a nonrenewable resource, it's crucial that it's recycled. Metals are endlessly recyclable without degradation in quality. Many metals are widely accepted for curbside recycling.

    Because metals can last a long time without degradation, refill programs often use metal containers.

  • Because tin and steel are endlessly recyclable, it's crucial to remind consumers to recycle metal so that this valuable material stays in the stream.

    Most metals start as a silver or gold color. Your design can embrace the metallic feel, or you can explore flood coats or wrap applications.
