China stepped up the reform of can pull tabs before the 2008 Olympic Games!
Ordinary split can pull tabs have low cost and are more widely used!
However, some countries in the European Union, such as France and other countries, strictly prohibit the use of pull-tab split cans!
There are two main reasons:
1. Food safety hazards. It is made into a one-piece style to prevent children or the elderly from accidentally swallowing it and accidentally cutting it by pulling the ring!
2. Environmental pollution factors. Pull tabs discarded anywhere can cause damage to the environment, and may even be eaten by some birds. The one-piece pull tab also facilitates metal recycling.
So as our country develops, it intensifies its reform efforts before the 2008 Olympic Games! However, the one-piece can also has its drawbacks. For example, contamination on the pull-ring buckle may be brought into the contents, so the split can and the one-piece one have their own advantages and disadvantages.
