  1. Intro Sustainability

  2. Sustainability Goals Sustainability Goals at Can Corp • Reduction of Energy • Reduction of materials used • Higher Productivity-Engineered • Less labor per thousand units • Recycling all Steel components

  3. 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 Facts about Food Cans Facts about Food Cans

  4. Sustained Concern Over Packaging on the Environment 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

  9. North American Delivery System Energy Consumption Assessment North American Delivery System Energy Consumption Assessment • 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.
