Recycled tinplate packaging for premium products

Hoffmann will introduce a line of tinplate cans comprised of 100% recycled steel at interpack (Hall 7a / B27-3). Made possible by collecting separated consumer packaging steel from standard household recycling, the company's groundbreaking RecyCan® portfolio closes the loop on sustainability through packaging that is not only completely recycled but also perpetually recyclable.

RecyCan® tins are suited for organic infant nutrition products, coffee, and tea 

All tinplate cans contain some recycled steel. At the inception of the RecyCan® process, typical household steel like used cans, closures and crown corks are collected for recycling. After steel elements are separated from aluminum and plastic packaging via magnet, they are shredded and detinned before being pressed into cubes. They are then melted down to raw steel and cast into slabs. The slabs are hot-rolled, cold-rolled and tin-plated to produce packaging steel, which can be printed and formed into fresh new tinplate packaging cans.

Ideal as packaging for premium organic and specialty products including organic infant nutrition, coffee, tea, dry or pasty cosmetics and tooth powder, the RecyCan® tins are available as three-piece, two-piece or deep-draw cans that provide ample protection against light, air/oxygen and moisture.
