Steel Tin Can

Steel Tin Can

Fém

The tin can is a steel/tin plate “armor” around your food: it is durable, well recyclable if it goes clean in the selective. The key is not magic, just: empty it, rinse it, throw it into the metal/plastic collector.

Miből készül?

Mostly steel (tin plate) body and internal protective coating (lacquer layer) this gives food safety and can be reused again and again in its material due to the metal. Recycling metals generally saves 60— 95% energy compared to mining.

Hova dobjuk?

Emptied, quickly rinsed: you can go to the selective trash can with a yellow lid (plastic+metal). Lid/lid: throw separately; fold the cut edge inward so as not to cut. Label: may remain, it will peel off when processing. Metal can with paint/solvent ≠ food: the hazardous waste, not for the selective.

Miért problémás?

Canned food is a valuable raw material, but if it gets dirty or goes to the communal, it goes to waste. Yet in Europe, the proportion of “truly recycled” steel packaging has set a record (80.5% in 2022, 82% in 2023). By keeping it clean, we could keep even more in circulation.

  • Choose a larger package(less boxes/person).
  • If it can be solved, glass/measuringalternative.
  • Rinse quickly(no need for patchouli), then into the yolk.
  • Kitchen preparation: the cover separate and foldso as not to offend.
  • Do not mixcombined with paint/chemical cans (their hazardous fraction).

Alternatívák

  • Measure legumes/ingredients in your own box.
  • Glass(where available) — well recyclable, reusable many times.
  • Refill/subscriptiondry goods.
  • Large packaging + halving/freezing.
  • Local producer resources, seasonal fresh raw material.

Tippek!

Drain, rinse and separate (cover separately) and put the yolks with it!

Évente ennyit termelünk

The recycling rate of steel packaging in the EU is among the highest for many years among packaging materials, which is good news, provided it goes from households clean to sorting.

Érdekesség

Steel packaging in the EU set a record in 2023 with a “truly recycled” rate of 82%, meaning that it was not only collected, it really became new steel.

Can the cover go to the selective?
Yes, but seperatethrow it and fold the edge inward (accident prevention). Eco Recycling Today

Does a can of canned food have a deposit?
No. The Hungarian DRS only for beverage packagingapplies (0.1—3 l). repont.hu

Why is cleaning important?
The food leftovers pollutes the fraction, impairs recovery — a quick rinse is enough. circulareconomy.europa.eu

How “green” is a tin can?
Recycling of steel about 60 to 74% of energysaves compared to virgin steel; for metals, savings are generally 60-95%. Okon Recycling
