Corus reports increase in steel can collections

Steel reprocessor Corus has said it has achieved an 80% increase in the recovery of steel cans through its CanRoute centres.

The company's latest annual report suggests that 25,000 tonnes of steel cans are being sent to the five Corus plants to be reprocessed from the 13 CanRoute centres across the UK.

The Corus report, Targeting Recycling, also reveals that the company supported 31 local authorities, community groups and waste management companies to boost steel can collections, using money from the producer responsibility system, via the issuing of packaging waste recovery notes (PRNs).

John May, manager at Corus, said: "There has been a significant increase in the level of steel can recycling in 2004, which has seen the level of steel packaging recycled reach 46%. This is very positive, however, there is still potential to increase this activity further."
