考虑这些事实

Steel food cans protect products across the distribution chain, ensuring goods reach consumers in peak condition. By safeguarding critical characteristics such as taste and quality, food cans foster brand differentiation and build trust. 钢的超强强度, durability and barrier properties help reduce waste and support healthy, 营养的饮食.

防止食物浪费

  • Metal food packaging serves as an unbeatable barrier to the intrusion of oxygen, 光和细菌, extending the shelf life of products and preventing premature spoilage.
  • 优化后的尺寸, whether fit for family dinner recipes or for individual portions, help to reduce food waste by consumers.
  • Each year, roughly one-third of the food produced globally — approximately 1.3 billion metric tons — is lost or wasted. 
  • Food waste ends up wasting a quarter of our water supply in the form of uneaten food. 它等于U.S.浪费了1720亿美元的水. 
  • If food waste was considered a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide, 仅次于中国和美国.S. 
  • Food saved by reducing losses by just 15% could feed more than 25 million Americans every year.

Helps preserve the environment

  • 75% of all 钢 ever produced in still in use. 
  • Recycling one 钢 food can conserves enough energy to light a 10-watt LED light bulb for more than 24 hours. 
  • 通过回收, the 钢 industry saves enough energy to supply the annual electricity needs of 18+ million homes.  
  • A single ton of 钢 recycled conserves 2,500磅铁矿石, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone. 
  • Metal food cans are easily stackable and allow more units to ship in one truckload, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 一旦进入商店, unlike the frozen and refrigerated products that require energy-intensive cold chain distribution, shelf-stable cans do not require a constant source of power to maintain quality and safety.
  • Nearly 30,000 钢 cans are recycled every minute in the United States.
  • Food can production with recycled 钢 entails 75% less greenhouse gas emissions than making food cans with virgin 钢. 
  • Steel food cans are 40% lighter in weight than they were 30 years ago.

Makes 健康的食物 more accessible

  • Canned produce moves from the field to the package within 4.5 hours, much faster than the 24 days it takes for fresh produce to make the same journey.
  • Dependable seal for all types of packaging closures locks in freshness without the need for preservatives, supporting organic and more natural, 健康的食物.
  • Ready-to-eat nature of canned foods enables busy consumers to prepare nutritious meals quickly.
  • Over half of the adults in the United States have a diet-related chronic disease from growing nutritional deficiencies. 
  • Steel food cans make the important food groups of fruit and vegetables more accessible. 在美国.S., 例如, consumers who consume canned foods have more fruit and vegetables in their diets than the average American. 

支持食品安全

  • Metal food packaging has an unprecedented food safety record due to the high temperatures of retort cooking, which effectively sterilizes the food in cans.
  • Cans offer 100% contamination protection, an important responsibility when foodborne illness reportedly costs Americans $15.每年60亿美元. 
  • Tamper-proof and tamper-resistant features indicate when a package has been compromised and help consumers feel confident about the quality and safety of their food products.
