In the present paper, a current technical progress for recycling of used steel can is described. The developed technology was a kind of pre-treatment through an automatic equipment system to increase recycling and melting efficiency of used steel co. The process consisted of several unit processes such as breaking of steel can bale, removing dust, separation of aluminum can, delacquering, and compressing to bale. Also, aluminum powders were recovered as a by-product at the delacquering step. The process was carried out automatically through by use of the developed equipment system. The automatic system could be very available in mass treatment of used steel can.

It is necessary that used metallic can should be recycled from the point of view of environmental preservation and resource recycling. Metallic can is classified into steel can and aluminum can according to the can body material. In Korea above eighty percent of cans are made from steel. In this article, production of cans and current status on the recycling of the used cans in recent years were surveyed. Recycled weight ratio of steel and aluminum can was about 75.6% and 74%, respectively in 2007. And totally it reached 75.3%.

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%.
