THE S.H.E.S. SYSTEM

S.H.E.S. SOLUTION AND ENVIRONMENT

The environmental aspect of the solution of hygienic safety deficienc of tins was recently the object of observations by authoritative exponents of the ecology movement regarding the legislative initiative aimed at solving the problem of hygiene in the consuption of packaged drinks currently being examined by the Italian Senate's Hygiene Commission.

On this subject, they specified that:

-
 hygiene must not be safeguarded to the detrimend of the enviroment and that the solution to the problem ust be found without causing any autonomous dispersion of the elements of parts of cans or any of their additional element;
-
 the solution must be real. Do not be an appearance operation that could show most dangerous than the actual trouble (for example: The protection coverings put on the lid, to be efficacious, may be collocated in a vacuum and sealed on the tin body. In fact it's hygiene expert opinion that moulds going to form in the micro-hothouse that there is between the tin lid and the protection covering get worst the actual already dangerous hygienic state);

The S.H.E.S. Opening System solution avoid the separate parts from being dispersed in the environment.
Having the dispenser built with the same material of the body and/or the lid allow for a full recycle, with a small cost (the energy cost of recycling aluminium is about 5% respect to the primary aluminium) , of the can. Its adoption, who results in a slight increase of overall costs, is so with total absence of any environmental impact and at the same time provides substantial advantages in terms of hygiene, safety and convenience.
The hygienic safety, the convenience and the total recycling together with the fact that the tins in no way may be, accidental or intentional (a third of firms expect the tampering risk) broken, will gain the trust of consumers to the tins and would confirm aluminium's record in beverage containers, today threatened by PET.
