| FACTS AND FIGURES: |
In
Southern Africa, over two billion steel beverage cans – beer,
soft drinks, cider, fruit juices and others – are consumed
every year. They are 100% recyclable. The current recovery rate
for Southern Africa is 72%. The recovery rate refers to the actual
number of steel used beverage cans recovered in Southern Africa.
It is calculated as a percentage of the total number of steel beverage
cans sold in Southern Africa. Collect-a-Can also recovers food and
other household cans. |
