Less energy, material consumption, and
waste in our process
Our cans are > 10% lighter than our
three-piece steel (tinplate) counterparts
The production of steel for our cans emits
4.5 times less CO2 than the production
of aluminum
Our cans are 100% recyclable
Polymer-coated steel eliminates the need for solvent-based linings and coatings;
reducing VOC emissions, energy usage, and
hazardous wastes
Printing that does not use water or alcohol,
reducing hazardous wastes
Semi-precious metals (such as copper and
tin) are not used in the manufacturing
process, whereas they are by our competition
Reducing our Footprints
It's easy being green
Because we are a relatively new company, we have been able to target sustainability from the very beginning. With our partner, Daiwa Can Company, we first designed a physically different container that optimizes the use of material and energy. Then we built a state-of-the-art plant that uses the cleanest technology and the best production practices.
Our cans are made from tin-free steel, coated on both sides with PET (a polyester polymer). At our plant in Batavia, the polymer coating eliminates the need for solvent-based interior lining, thereby significantly reducing any carbon emissions. The finished cans have no welded side seams; this does away with the need for copper or water during manufacturing.
Most community recycling operations now accept aerosol cans, and we are working with the Steel Recycling Institute to encourage further inclusion in both curbside and drop-off programs.
Lightweighting is one of the best ways to improve the environment and economic efficiency of any packaging product. Our two-piece cans are at least 10% lighter than conventional three-piece aerosol containers.
Overall, we feel we have "right-sized" both our product and our process, and we continue to work with customers and suppliers to better our score.
