可持续性
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.
考虑一下这些事实:
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.
Makes 健康的食物 more accessible
- Canned produce is picked and packed within hours of harvesting, locking in freshness and nutrients. 新鲜农产品, 与此形成鲜明对比的是, loses nutrients from the moment it is picked, throughout transportation and refrigeration, 直到消费的那一刻.
- 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.
Helps preserve the environment, today and tomorrow
- 75% of all 钢 ever produced in still in use today.
- 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 more than 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.
