Welcome to cansmart® - the steel can recycling website.

94% of households in Australia now have access to steel can recycling with 56% of steel cans being returned for recycling. However, every year each Australian sends around 3.5 kilograms of steel cans to landfill - that's enough steel to make 40,000 fridges!

Recycling steel cans helps to protect our environment in three ways:

        1. It saves precious natural resources
        2. It saves energy
        3. reduces cans going to landfill

The cansmart® website is dedicated to promoting steel can recycling.

We have information for householders, waste educators, manufacturers and
marketers and students. You can find everything from a Householder's Guide to Steel Can Recycling, to the new Recyclable Steel Logo which brand owners can download and incorporate directly into their labelling.
