Could re-sealable drinks cans reduce waste?
I was interested to see this story which puts forward the idea of a re-sealable version of the drinks can. You pop the top as usual with the newly-proposed design, and then when you want to re-seal it, you turn the pop top tab and it completely closes up the can again, good as new.
Many of us are guilty of buying canned cold while out and about, only to take a few swigs then leave them lying around until the contents go flat then jettisoning them in the nearest bin. Then getting thirsty again and repeating the whole sorry episode. Wouldn't it be great if we could re-seal the cans, finish the drinks at our leisure then keep hold of the empty can to make use of our local curbside collection scheme?
