Major aluminum processing companies rely on trash cans for manufacturing recycled cans. This helps in continuing an eco-friendly market process amidst environmental concerns. Consumers too rely on cans because of their recyclable nature. As the most popular product in the bin, aluminum cans are by far the most recycled containers for beverage. Aluminum cans are lightweight and easy to stack. This ensures efficiencies in storage and shipping and reduces total carbon emissions from transport across logistics and supply chains.

The manufacturing process of beverage cans consists of cutting, redrawing the cup, trimming, cleaning and decorating, making lead and filling and seaming. It is easy of its own kind, as the manufacturing processes of can alternatives are usually longer and more resources and money consuming. The typical aluminum can weighs less than half an ounce, yet its thin walls withstand more than 90 pounds of pressure per square inch exerted by the carbon dioxide in beer and soft drinks. In the face of this rising demand, the future of the beverage can seems to lie in designs that save money and materials. The trend towards smaller lids is already apparent, as well as smaller neck diameters, but other changes may not be so obvious to the consumer.
