Collect-a-Can is a recovery as opposed to a profit driven company and has proven that it is self-sustainable by managing its operations and cost structures at optimum levels, assuring the respective southern African governments, environmentalists and the public of Collect-a-Can’s long-term stability.
The current recovery rate for southern Africa is 72%, which compares favourably with recovery rates quoted by first world countries.
Collect-a-Can's shareholders are ArcelorMittal South Africa (Africa's major steel producer and producer of tinplate for steel cans) and Nampak (Africa's largest packaging company and beverage can manufacturer).
The Company was established in 1993 to pro-actively address the steel beverage can industry's share of responsibility pertaining to the ever increasing environmental needs of the region. Collect-a-Can is dedicated to ensuring that used metal cans and consequently tinplate, exist in harmony with the environment.
Over the past 21 years, Collect-a-Can has been at the forefront of minimizing the negative impact of used metal cans on the environment. We have subsequently been involved in the recovery of all scrap tinplate generated in the tinplate and can-making processes, including sludge, cut-offs (skeletons), misprints, sub-standard fills, and most importantly the recovery of used metal cans.
