Recycling aluminium and steel cans saves on natural resources, energy consumption and helps to reduce the pressure on our over-stretched landfill sites.

This Home Can Crusher is a simple, effective portable device for crushing both aluminum and steel cans using foot pressure alone. Simply put your foot on the top plate and apply pressure – the action then crushes cans to 30% of their original size.

Reducing the size of your empty cans reduces the amount of space they take up in your recycling bin and helps make them easier to transport in your recycling collection vehicle.

Installing a home can crusher in your home promotes, encourages and makes it easier for families to recycle aluminium and steel cans.

There are many reasons why recycling steel and aluminium cans is important and better for the environment.
It is estimated that each UK household consumes around 200 cans every year and each one of these cans could be recycled back into a new can many times over saving on resources and energy consumption. If all the aluminium cans sold were recycled there would be around 14 million fewer dustbins emptied into landfill sites every year.

Recycling aluminium requires only 5% of the energy and produces only 5% of the CO2 emissions compared with production from raw materials and a recycled aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours.
