Do you know that aluminium cans contain a plastic liner on the inside ?

For those who don't think so, check this video shared recently by a Marine Debris info member:

1. Food tin cans are also coated with plastic and that's why people were recently concerned about BPA getting in their canned food. When aluminum/tin/steel cans are recycled, I hope that the combustion of the metal eliminates the possibility of plastic getting into natural waters (as along as combustion pollution controls are adequate).

2. Never would have guessed!
   Thank you for sharing!
