Paper Bottom Cans

Replacing Metal Can Bottoms With Paper

Sonoco offers its EnviroCan Paper Bottom range, aimed at improving recyclability and reducing plastic use. Their design replaces the traditional metal base with a fiber-based bottom, making it fully recyclable in exisiting paperstreams in the UK and many European countries. In addition to being lightweight for easier handling, the can maintains high barrier characteristics to protect contents effectively, comparable to metal-bottom cans. The cans are claimed to be made of 100% recycled fibre paperboard with up to 90% sourced from post consumer materials (PCR), aimed to enter a better circular production process.
