Eco Commitment

Sustainability

Recyclable tin packaging and eco-friendly metal packaging solutions for a greener future. At Stannum Can, we lead with sustainable packaging materials, circular packaging solutions, and green packaging manufacturing — because recyclable metal cans are better for your brand and the planet.

Earth from space — Stannum Can sustainability

Convert Your Packaging to a More Eco Friendly Material

Stannum Can is committed to a sustainable future across every stage of our operations. Our team has achieved the EcoVadis Bronze Certification, a globally recognized standard that evaluates sustainable manufacturing practices, ethical business conduct, labour conditions, and environmental impact — not just what a company claims, but what it can verify.

Our factory generates approximately 7.5 million kWh of electricity per year through a rooftop solar photovoltaic installation — one of the largest renewable energy systems in our manufacturing region. This investment directly lowers our carbon emissions and operational costs, and allows us to pass real sustainability benefits on to every brand we work with.

We are targeting zero manufacturing waste by 2026, with programmes already in place to reduce material scrap, improve energy efficiency across production lines, and eliminate single-use plastics from our internal operations. Choosing Stannum Can means your packaging partner is actively reducing its footprint — not just offsetting it.

Degradation Timeframe

Plastic takes an astonishing 450 years to degrade, while tin decomposes in a much shorter timeframe of about 50 years. Choosing tin means your packaging doesn't burden future generations.

Environmental Benefits

Using tin can reduce mining waste by up to 97% and pollution by up to 86%, making it one of the most environmentally sound packaging choices available for brands of any size.

Infinite Recyclability

Tin is infinitely recyclable, with an impressive 90% of tin being recycled globally. Unlike plastic, tin loses none of its quality through the recycling process — it can be melted down and reformed indefinitely.

Our Process

The Circular Economy

01
Raw Materials

We use high-quality tinplate produced directly in our own factory. This durable material is endlessly recyclable, aligning with our commitment to sustainability and quality manufacturing.

02
Manufacturing

We start with clean energy. Our factory runs on solar power and uses energy-saving machines that cut emissions from day one. This reduces our footprint — before the first tin even ships.

03
Packaging in Use

Our tins go to work. Built to last, designed to be reused, and styled to be kept. Customers often re-gift them, store keepsakes, or simply display them on shelves. Nothing goes to waste.

04
End of Life

Every tin comes full circle. Instead of ending up in landfills, tins are recycled, melted down, and shaped into something new — again and again. That's true circular design.

Clean Energy

Solar-Powered Manufacturing

Our factory generates approximately 7.5 million kWh of electricity per year using a rooftop solar photovoltaic installation — one of the largest renewable energy systems in our manufacturing region. The system was designed to offset the majority of our production energy demand, reducing our dependence on grid power and cutting carbon emissions at the source rather than through offsetting schemes.

This investment into clean energy directly lowers our carbon footprint, reduces operational costs, and enables us to pass real sustainability benefits on to every brand that partners with Stannum Can. We are on track to meet our zero-waste manufacturing target by 2026, with active waste reduction programmes running across all production lines.
