Question 6

Why is aluminum your alternative to plastic?

Accepted Answer

75 percent of aluminum ever made is still used today, while only 9 percent of plastic collected gets recycled. Aluminum is an infinitely recyclable material, meaning it never has to go to waste. We offer a product that actually becomes something new when you put it in your recycling bin, unlike plastic which loses quality after each use and ends up in landfills, furnaces and our oceans. Rock on, aluminum.

Question 7

Why are you creating another single-use product instead of a refillable bottle?

Accepted Answer

While our society is moving towards a refillable culture, many people still rely on single-use products for travel, emergency food storage and wellness in areas where water quality is low. Our mission is to replace plastic water bottles altogether in these necessary areas, providing an option that is less harmful to the environment and 100 percent recyclable. We’ll always recommend reusable water bottles as your best option. We’re just here to be a better backup –– for now. In May 2021, we’ll be making more waves with a new reusable water bottle line! Take that, plastic.

Question 8

What are the can liners made of? Are they eco-friendly and does it affect the cans recyclability?

Accepted Answer

Our cans are coated in a thin layer of paint, and are totally plastic-free. It is not harmful to the environment and does not affect the infinitely recyclable properties of aluminum.nBefore cans are recycled in furnaces, recycling facilities remove the paint in a variety of ways. When paint is removed from the aluminum can, it is often used to heat the furnace that will then melt the aluminum for recycling. It’s one of our favorite sustainable magic tricks.

Question 9

Are your cans made of recycled aluminum?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Mananalu cans are made of 73 percent recycled aluminum, above the industry average of 69 percent. Our producers at Ball Corporation expect to produce with 100 percent recycled aluminum by 2030.
