Abstract
Used metallic can should be recycled from the point of view of environmental preservation and resource recycling. Metallic can is one of EPR items, and classified into steel can and aluminum can according to the can body material. In Korea about eighty percent of metallic cans are made of steel. In this article, production of cans and current status on domestic recycling of used metallic cans in recent years(2008-2012) were surveyed. Recycled ratio by weight of used steel and aluminum cans was about 80.8% and 81.8%, respectively in 2012. Totally it reached 81.8%.
