Why are baby formula products worldwide packaged in tinplate cans?
Exposure to light can trigger undesirable reactions in food and lead to changes in proteins and amino acids. Vitamin C, in particular, is more prone to interaction with other food components when exposed to light, resulting in significant loss. Iron cans, especially those made of tinplate, provide the most complete sealing and light opacity, ensuring the safe and reliable preservation of the quality of powdered milk without nutrient loss.
Where should we start to protect our planet?
Something everyone can do - Practice waste sorting and avoid indiscriminate littering.
Don't ignore environmental damage - Dispose of empty cans, such as juice containers consumed outside, in the appropriate trash bins. Alternatively, take them home for recycling. Remember to clean the empty cans before recycling, as they can be reused as raw materials for making iron cans.
Why do Germany and France have a usage rate of over 80% for iron cans of powdered milk?
Because tinplate cans meet multiple environmental demands such as "low pollution," "recyclability," and "resource conservation." Tinplate cans, with their excellent sealing and light-blocking properties, ensure that the nutritional value of powdered milk is preserved safely and reliably. After use, tinplate cans are easy to classify for recycling, with a recycling rate of up to 80%. The containers can oxidise and decompose in nature, returning to their original state as iron oxide, contributing to a natural cycle without causing environmental pollution.
Besides powdered milk cans, what are the other uses of tinplate cans?
The applications of tinplate cans are extensive, ranging from packaging for food and beverages to containers for oils and chemicals. The physical and chemical properties of tinplate provide excellent protection:
Canned food- Tinplate ensures the hygiene of food and minimizes the possibility of decay.
Beverage cans - Tinplate is suitable for packaging juices, coffee, tea, sports drinks, as well as cola, soda, beer, and other beverages. The high process-ability of tinplate allows for various can shapes, meeting the diverse packaging needs and consumer preferences.
Oil cans - Light exposure accelerates the oxidation of fats, deteriorating the vitamins, especially vitamin D and A, and reducing nutritional value. Tinplate's opacity and sealing effectively isolate light and air, making it the best choice for packaging fat-containing foods.
Chemical cans: Tinplate's sturdy material and excellent protective properties make it the optimal packaging material for chemicals.
Spray cans: Tinplate cans resistant to high temperatures and pressures are particularly suitable for high-pressure filling in spray cans.
Other boxes: Tinplate is used to create versatile and beautifully printed biscuit tinplates and stationery boxes.
