Food Cans
Cans capture and save harvests.
- Cans act as an extension of nature, ensuring good harvests are preserved. They allow brand owners to bring nature’s goodness to consumer homes. Getting food from farm to can is a simple process that preserves food at its peak, guaranteeing that healthy and nutritious food products, with no preservatives, are always on hand whenever you need them!
- Fruit and vegetables are canned within approximately 4 hours of harvesting, locking in vitamins and nutrients with no need for preservatives!
Cans protect products.
- With their exceptional robustness, cans minimise spillage and other product loss along the value chain. Cans are unbreakable, so there is little risk of leaking or tearing during transportation, warehousing, on retail shelves or in consumers’ homes.
Long fresh with cans.
- Canned fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and are canned in as little as four hours. During the canning process, vitamins and nutrients are locked in until consumption, even if this is years from the canning date. Canning naturally preserves the nutrients, freshness and flavour without preservatives.
Cans are shelf-life heroes.
- Food cans keep food fresh and preserve nutrients for up to 5 years. Cans preserve food longer than any other packaging, and therefore prevent waste during warehousing, on retail shelves or in consumers’ homes. Thanks to their unbeatable shelf life, cans are always available for consumers without being spoiled or thrown away.
Cans preserve products safely.
- The high-heat canning process is one of the safest when it comes to preserving food. The high temperatures of retort cooking sterilise food inside the cans, securing nutrients, without the need for preservatives, refrigeration or freezing.
Cans save energy.
- The storage of food cans saves up to 70% of energy throughout the supply chain. Cans need significantly less secondary packaging compared to alternative packages due to the natural strength of metal.
Reducing Food Waste.
- The can is available in a wide range of different portion sizes. This makes it easier to choose the right size can for every occasion, reducing food spoilage significantly. By increasing the share of canned food in your diet, you can reduce your food waste by almost 30%.
Endlessly Recyclable.
- Made from a permanent material that can be fully recycled, without loss of quality, the food can is a great fit for the circular economy. Once a food can reaches the end of its useful life, it can be recycled into new cans or other products over and over again.
- Food cans are often made from steel, the most recycled material in the world. This means they’re not just recyclable, they’re actually recycled! Once used, they need to be placed in the correct bin. Then they’ll be collected, sorted and recycled into new packaging and products.
