Looking after the earth, facilitating job creation
Metal can recycling company Collect-aCan, which is a recovery as opposed to a profitdriven company, was established to address the metal can industry’s share of responsibility pertaining to ever-increasing environmental needs.
Steel and aluminium cans are 100% recyclable, which protects the environment by reducing the use of raw materials, the impact of landfill on the environment, air pollution, the use of energy as less energy is required using recovered cans than to produce cans from virgin materials, and the reduction of unsightly and unhealthy waste.
Recycling is seen as an area which can facilitate job creation for many communities, therefore Collect-a-Can’s “cash for cans” initiative that encourages cans to be collected and sold to Collect-aCan is a central focus.
