Modern. Smart. Sustainable.

Product freshness protection in a customizable, 100% recyclable PET plastic canisters

Ring Container Technologies disrupts the industry—again!—with SmartCAN®, the modern alternative to the classic canister. Unlike traditional multi-material composite canisters, SmartCAN plastic canisters use just one material: 100% recyclable PET.

Why change from a non-recyclable multi-material canister to SmartCAN? Because consumers want 100% recycle-ready packaging that keeps snacks fresh. SmartCAN delivers on shelf presence and production efficiency. It also meets the highest sustainability requirements.
