General comment Used beverage cans refer to post-consumer aluminum cans that have been utilized for containing drinks such as soda, beer, and other beverages. Their flow involves collection, sorting, and recycling. The cans are typically processed to remove coatings and impurities before being melted down and reconstituted into new aluminum products. Compliance with recycling standards, quality of the recycled material, and the specific route of recycling (such as closed-loop or open-loop recycling) are part of the product flow description. The end location of these cans could be 'to consumer' in the form of new cans or 'at plant' for further processing.
