Independent Stock Tin Program 2012 Infinitely Recyclable Tin Packaging Decorative tins are rarely thrown away and are frequently recycled; reused or kept as a collectible. Steel can be recycled indefinitely, without loss of quality. Quick Facts About Steel Packaging: • Recycling steel uses 60% less energy than making new steel • Every can that you buy contains at least 25% recycled steel, and up to 60% depending on the process • Steel can be easily separated from other waste with a magnet • There are more than 2,000 scrap steel processors in the US • Every 2,000 lbs. of recycled steel saves 2,500 lbs. of iron ore, 1,400 lbs. of coal and 120 lbs. of limestone • Each year, more steel is recycled than glass, paper, aluminum and plastic combined Long before environmentalism was in vogue, we took initiatives and implemented programs to reduce waste, save energy, and eliminate pollutants. Having an efficient, environmentally conscious operation controls costs for our customers, and ensures a better world for future generations. Independent Can was one of the first companies to be a part of Maryland's registry of green companies, the Maryland Green Registry. To learn more visit www.mde.state.md.us/MarylandGreen/.
