Why Steel?
Thanks to their inherent strength and magnetic qualities, products like Steel Chill-Cups™ are much easier for Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) to sort, resulting in the highest recycling rate of all food containers.
Steel By The Numbers
(2022 Can Manufacturers Institute)
- Steel makes food cans the #1 most recycled food package in the U.S. That's why we introduced the steel disposable party cup, which allows you to chill guilt-free at your next party. Let's make Steel Chill-Cups the most recycled disposable cup.
- 100% of the Steel Chill-Cup™ is recyclable
- Steel is infinitely recyclable. As a result, 75% of all steel ever produced is still in use today
- Recycling 1 ton of steel cans conserves 2,500 lbs. of iron ore, 1,400 lbs. of coal and 120 lbs. of lime stone
- New steel produced with recycled cans reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 75%
