CanShield / Re-Cap Solutions UG (limited liability)
Entry last updated on September 29, 2025

CanShield is a resealable PET lid for standard aluminum cans, applied after the filling process, creating a new convenience category without changing the filling process.
Key benefits include secure resealing, protection against spills and contamination, longer carbonation retention, and convenient, portion-based consumption on the go.

The hybrid solution leverages the environmental strength of the aluminum can (100% and infinitely recyclable) with minimal, fully recyclable PET content in the closure, without compromising the recyclability of the packaging.

For consumers, convenience and quality are key purchasing factors: 77% cite convenience as a key factor, 85% rate maintaining carbonation and flavor as very important, 69% perceive cans as colder or more refreshing, and 5% are willing to pay a premium for convenience. On the brand side, CanShield creates visible differentiation at the POS, opens up new usage situations, and reduces migration to bottle formats while simultaneously communicating story-driven sustainability.

Production integration is cost-effective as a post-fill step into existing lines, is scalable with co-packers, and is designed for high volumes. The solution is particularly relevant for energy drinks, RTD coffee, hard seltzer, and functional beverages with higher value per unit.

CanShield combines convenience, hygiene, and recyclability in the can and delivers measurable added value for consumers and brands.
