An ‘Introduction’ to the Reusa-Can Story

or...
The UK Government Recycling Rip-Off

Reusa-Can the Greenest Project on the Planet

Reusa-Can is a revolutionary method of refurbishing (not recycling) metal cans such as baked bean, soup, pet food and beverage cans. Reusa-Can will cut CO2 gas emissions; reduces the use of millions of tons of oil, minerals, water and chemicals and cut the cost of canned food. It eliminates all recycling procedures. Our UK government and other politician’s don’t want to know; they are betraying the people of this country. At the same time losing us a £300 billion world market. Because of this, poorer members of society such as pensioners and unemployed are being penalised. Please read both Reusa-Can Rip Off Parts 1 and 2 and Political information you will then understand how you are deceived.

UK canned food prices have increased 124% annually (Information Item 2) for the past two years mainly due to tinplate price increases. Reusa-can could reduce these increases but has been prevented by the UK government. They have repeatedly refused a grant for R&D. New tinplate has been imported at prices up to £1,000 per tonne to make new cans. Although good quality cans that could be reused are available at £10 per but our government prefers to see them scrapped.

Tinplate manufacturers gloated (Information Item 7) at price increases recently. Reusa-Cans aims to reduce UK canned food prices by approximately £1.5 billion per annum. Reusa-Can also aims to return a majority of money from sales, approximately £1.5 billion, to ratepayers for good causes. UK ratepayers are handing over £millions each week getting nothing in return, whilst multinationals make £millions from your recycling efforts. Some of these £millions are helping to fund British political parties. They are betraying this country for money. UK Ratepayer’s for goodness sake wake up you are being duped every fortnight! Look at the letters in our (Information section).

Shoppers did you know 20-40% of canned food price is in the can?

The British and world public is unaware how much they give to foreign multinational companies every fortnight in what they regard as scrap cans? Your cans are your property until collected by a waste company. When you buy a can of beans or soup for £0-60p the container is worth up to £0-19p. You are paying via your rate bill for your cans worth up to £80 peer annum to be handed over to a multinational steel company. It is transported thousands of miles, at great environmental and energy cost, to go through a recycling process that will turn it back into tinplate. We buy that tinplate back off those same foreign multinationals at anything up to £1,000 per tonne to make cans again. Is the world crazy?

Reusa–Can could refurbish 75% of these cans and needn’t leave the country. Our aim is to return most of the profit back to ratepayers. This applies to every country in the world. There is no need for most cans to leave the country in which it was sold; refurbish them instead. Give your opinion and support to Reusa-Can on our blog sign our petition and tell others about it.

How does Reusa-Can work?

When a can has been emptied and washed, what you have in your hand is a perfectly good container with a seal cap missing. Part of that seal cap is left around the top of each can forming a rim. Reusa-Can has a method of removing that rim without damaging the can body or reducing its height or capacity. When received, cans would be separated into aluminium or steel cans and different sizes, they will then be cleaned. Then they would be de-rimmed, sterilised and given a new lacquer finish.

This is what the Reusa-Can Project is about.

On the left is a standard can of beans, next to it is an empty can but with rim still in position. The third can from the left shows an empty can with rim removed and no damage to the can. The removed rim is next to it. After that the can is lacquered inside and out. Finally, on the far right it shows a finished can with another product in it. It could be used for anything including food. There is no difference in height or capacity. This refurbishing can be done to the same can ten times.

Cans will be sterilised and re-lacquered both inside and outside. Inside lacquers would suit whatever food or other product put into it. Refurbishment can be done to each can up to ten times. This increases savings by ten. No new materials are used apart from lacquers and only enough energy is used to power machines. Each refurbished can is as good as a new can. Reusa-Can eliminates all wasteful recycling processes including crushing and transporting them to China or India. India and China create more pollution than any other countries on earth; help them reduce it.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has no objection to refurbished cans being used. Their main concern is surface materials that come in contact with food should not cause any contamination or affect food quality in any way. Reusa-Can is suitable for any product

Reusa-Can will not save the world, it’s not meant to. It will help to save a considerable amount of oil, energy and other resources with a minimum of effort. Detailed figures of savings are in Part 2 of this report.

Dear Reader, those of you who read both parts of this report and think it is a load of bunkum full of the conspiracy theory please let me know on the blog. Those who agree please say so and sign the petition.

For those who think that oil will last forever, I offer these extracts from:

www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net (click on it to see full report)

In 1982, the US State Department released its own report, which stated:
...world petroleum production will peak in the 1990-2010 interval at 80-105 million barrels per day, with ultimate resources estimated at 2,100 billion barrels.

For what it's worth, Bush's Crawford ranch has been completely off-the-grid since 2002. The ranch is equipped with the latest in energy saving and renewable power systems. It has been described as an "environmentalist's dream home." The fact a man as steeped in the petroleum industry as Bush, would own such a home should tell you something.

Also:

Quote from: 'Who Runs Britain' written by Robert Peston BBC’s Business Editor. "Well-heeled dynasties are being created in a way we have not seen since the Victorian era. Why should any of us care? For one thing, it’s not healthy for democracy. The super-rich have the means through the financing of political parties, the funding of think tanks and the ownership of the media to shape Government policies or to deter reform of a status quo that doesn’t suit them."

This is a book worth reading and so is ‘The Long Emergency’ by James Howard Kunstler.

If the BBC should repeats the Horizon programme ‘A Farm for the Future’ narrated by Rebecca Hosking this also gives you an insight of what will probably happen in future. Resources will not last forever and we are in for a rough time.

Only one politician, of those I have written, has offered any practical help of his own volition. I wish to record my thanks to him for trying. He wasn’t my MP so I am especially grateful.
