A short video showing the concept states that the beverage industry produces over 16.5 million tons of plastic packaging every year and …8.8 million tons enters the ocean every year. Moreover, only 9% of all plastic waste generated actually gets recycled.

…Each can has a thread on the top and bottom so that the top of one be screwed into the bottom of another. 

…According to Ranero, the design will be “opensource” so that anyone interested in the innovation can use it.

…The concept is actually one of several that Grupo Modelo is experimenting with. “About seven months ago, we launched a plastic-free ring made of biodegradable material – a plant-based material,.” 

…Last year, Carlsberg introduced what they called a “snap pack” in the UK and Norway. Cans in four, six, or eight-packs are held together by tiny blobs of a strong glue, which is designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and even varying temperatures. The cans audibly snap when they’re pulled apart and the glue is recycled along with the aluminium can.
