可持续性

Steel food cans protect products across the distribution chain, 确保货物在最佳状态下到达消费者手中. 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, 帮助减少消费者的食物浪费.
• Each year, roughly one third of the food produced globally — approximately 1.损失或浪费了30亿公吨. 
• 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. 
• 如果食物浪费被认为是一个国家, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide, 仅次于中国和美国.S. 

使健康食品更容易获得

• 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, 从采摘的那一刻起就失去了营养, 整个运输和冷藏过程, 直到消费的那一刻.
• Dependable seal for all types of packaging closures locks in freshness without the need for preservatives, 支持有机和更天然, 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, 哪种方法能有效地对罐装食品进行消毒.
• 罐头提供100%的污染保护, 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.

帮助保护环境，无论是今天还是明天

• 75%的钢铁至今仍在使用. 
• 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.  
• 每回收一吨钢材可节约2,500磅铁矿石, 1,400磅煤和120磅石灰石. 
• Metal food cans are easily stackable and allow more units to ship in one truckload, 减少温室气体排放. 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.
