    It’s not. It’s a thin plastic film. One that doesn’t get into the environment at nearly the rate, since the aluminum is actually worth recycling.

      A thin plastic film… in other words a plastic bottle.

      Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.

      Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.

      So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.
