Galvanized Color Coated Coil-Tinplate packaging
Tinplate is steel with a thin coating of tin for rust protection. A layer of white enamel is added to some food cans produced from this materials to protect the contents. Crown caps for bottles and the lids of glass screw-cap containers are also usually made of tinplate. Around 12,000 tonnes of tinplate are collected separately each year. This corresponds to 1.5 kg per capita per year.
