Environmental advantages of tinplate box packaging

Release time:

2021-12-31

Iron box raw material: the raw material of the iron box is tinplate box. There are two ways to produce tinplate, one is to use mineral resources based on iron ore and coke to produce tinplate, and the other is to use tinplate box recycled materials to produce tinplate. The two methods produce tinplate of the same quality. Tinplate production does not require cutting down trees and does not disrupt the ecological balance.

Process and cost advantages

The traditional tinplate boutique box is formed by pressing the metal mold on the punch. Tinplate boxes and handmade cartons are currently the representatives of domestic gift boxes. In contrast, tinplate boxes save more manpower than handmade cartons. They are safer and more environmentally friendly in the production process, there is no glue, and the iron box has more cost advantages than the manual carton.

sustainable development

1. The recyclable iron can itself has a characteristic that other packaging materials do not have, that is, it can be attracted by magnets. In this way, the iron can be separated from the waste by the magnetic separator. Using this feature, iron cans can be more easily recovered from waste. Therefore, the great advantage of tinplate packaging is sustainability, because it has unlimited recycling capacity. Among all packaging materials, the recovery rate of metal packaging (especially tinplate) is relatively high. In 2017, the recovery rate of metal packaging in Germany reached 91%, the recovery rate of tinplate was about 93%, the recovery rate of aluminum was 88%, and the recovery rate of plastic packaging was only 49%.

2. Low pollution. Tinplate, the main raw material in the tin can container, is actually harmless to the environment and can be decomposed naturally. When iron can be present in the environment, it can be naturally oxidized, returning to its original iron oxide state and returning to nature. Therefore, the stacking of waste iron cans can be decomposed by time and will not cause environmental pollution. At the same time, there is no need to cut down trees to make iron cans, and it will not destroy the ecological balance.

3. Save resources. In terms of removing other pollution residues on iron cans, chopper equipment has been developed, which can effectively remove more than 98% of pollutants and provide high-quality scrap iron. The use of tinplate scrap to produce steel saves 230 cubic metres of gas per tonne of scrap compared to iron ore production. Therefore, the recycling and reproduction process of iron cans can reduce the impact on the global environment and energy, in line with the development trend of future products.

Metal recycling will always be an organization whose purpose is to promote a higher proportion of metal packaging recycling. Promote waste classification and raise public awareness of environmental protection. The recycling ratio of metal packaging, especially tinplate boxes, will be higher and higher in China.

Powerful secondary use function

Compared with manual cartons, iron boxes, as a form of packaging, have a stronger secondary utilization function than manual cartons after use. From the basic storage box, stationery box and money can functions to more creative reuse functions, such as candle cans and audio cans, the service life of the iron box is greatly extended.
