According to DESIGNNOBIS, only 50% of used cans are recycled, so every minute 113,204 [aluminum cans are recycled](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secure-flip-sports-cap) while 100,000 are thrown away. In order to help resolve this dilemma, the company has created a line of lids that can be popped onto any pop can once emptied and cleaned. So for example, you can turn the can into a beverage container with a sippy lid, or why not fill a can up with grated cheese and add a shaker lid? Other examples include salt and pepper shakers and even sugar holders. The [plastic lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-strip-cutter) are clear and have vibrantly colored lids on them that describe what each can contains. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Packaging:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS are a creative invention that showcase the potential of sustainable packaging and highlight the need for more sustainable packaging options. - **Upcycling:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS underscore the popularity of upcycling and represent an opportunity for companies to refashion their products for sustainable reuse. - **Consumer Customization:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS tap into the trend of consumer customization by allowing people to personalize and reuse their food and beverage containers. ### Where This Applies - **Packaging:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS demonstrate the need for sustainable and customizable packaging for food and beverages. - **Home Goods:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS create a new opportunity for home goods companies to design and market caps and lids for reusable containers. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The Cans'n Caps Lids by DESIGNNOBIS represent an opportunity for eco-friendly product companies to leverage upcycling and customization in their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Soda Bottle Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-uk.md) - [Sleek Top Can Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davi-can.md) - [Easy-Open Tuna Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tuna-can-packaging.md) - [Beverage Can Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davi-can-opener.md) - [Tubular Paper-Made Snack Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonoco-paper-can.md) - [Can Clip Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-clip.md) - [Spoon-Equipped Formula Lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chadwicks.md) - [Tethered Carton Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twistflip.md) - [Can-Based Cleaning Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-can-starter-kit.md)
