Food cans are still mostly made from tinplate using a three-piece construction in which the body is rolled from sheet into a cylinder, welded along the side seam and then has a lid seamed onto one end. This is delivered to the customer for filling after which the top lid is seamed on. Three-piece cans and ends have a variety of lacquers and enamels applied before manufacturing which protect the contents and ensure a long shelf life. Manufacturing speeds depend on the size of the can, and range from 50 per minute for large pails to more than 1,000 per minute for small fish and fruit cans. Some food cans are made using the same process as drinks cans, being drawn in presses from sheet. This process is more popular in North America where a number of redundant drinks can lines were converted for this application. Most fish cans are made using drawing techniques.

Other natural resources used in soda cans include energy sources for manufacturing, such as electricity and natural gas, as well as water for production processes. Additionally, the inks and coatings used on soda cans may contain various minerals and chemicals sourced from natural resources.


Element used to make cans?

Most cans are made from aluminum or steel. I am not sure which is most common of these two. Only aluminum of these two is an element, and this might be the desired answer, but in fact the aluminum used in cans is not a pure element but rather an alloy including small amounts of other metals.


Silvery ductile metallic element found in bauxite?

The element you are referring to is aluminum. It is a silvery-white, lightweight, and ductile metal commonly found in bauxite ore. Aluminum is widely used in various industries due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.


Are soda cans renewable?

Soda cans made of aluminum are technically renewable because aluminum is a highly recyclable material. Recycling aluminum cans reduces the need for mining and processing new aluminum, which helps conserve natural resources. However, the process of recycling cans still requires energy and resources.
