Tin cans meet the needs of environmental protection packaging materials

Existing containers include iron cans, aluminum cans, paper and plastic containers, the recycling characteristics of these containers are different, but the recycling of iron cans is better than other packaging material containers.

Based on the implementation of international environmental management standard ISO-14000, tinplate cans with low pollution, recyclable and resource-saving characteristics will have a broader space for development in the future packaging uses:

1, low pollution:

Tinplate, the main raw material in tin cans, is in fact environmentally harmless and can be decomposed naturally, because when tin cans exist in the environment, they can be oxidized naturally and return to the original iron oxide state and return to nature, so the heap of waste tin cans can be decomposed over time and will not cause environmental pollution. At the same time manufacturing tin can need not cut down trees, will not destroy the ecological balance.

2, recyclable:

The tin itself has a feature that other packaging materials do not have -- can be magnetically adsorbable, so the use of magnetic separator by magnetic force to separate the tin from the waste, using this feature can easily achieve the recycling of garbage in 80% of the tin effect. And the invention of environmental protection cover, not only make the use of tin cans more safe, health, and effectively reduce the amount of garbage, recycling operations have direct and obvious benefits.

3. Provincial Resources:

In the removal of other pollution residues on the tin, has developed a shredder equipment, can effectively remove more than 98 % of the pollutants, to provide good quality scrap iron. In addition, the US side also pointed out that the existence of aluminum easily open lid is conducive to scrap iron reprocessing, because it can reduce the amount of Hot Metal used in steelmaking, reducing the overall cost of steel manufacturing. In addition, in terms of energy saving, the report points out that compared with iron ore production, the production of iron and steel using tinplate scrap can save about 230m3 of natural gas per ton, so the recycling and reprocessing process of iron cans can reduce the impact on the global environment and energy, in line with the future product trend.
