At Re-Cap Solutions, we don't create plastic solutions for cans - We build can technology
With CanShield, we are developing closure technology for beverage cans that prioritizes safety, hygiene, reclosability, and industrial scalability. We focus on a technological platform featuring intellectual property, engineering logic, and licensing potential for major beverage and packaging companies.
Re-Cap Solutions stands for Can Technology instead of add-on thinking.
We stand for industrial packaging innovation instead of product gimmicks.
We believe that the beverage can has not yet reached the end of its technological development and offer a new perspective on it: not as a closed system, but as a platform for further technological advancement.
The problem
Once a beverage can is opened, it cannot be closed again. That affects hygiene, freshness and convenience in everyday use.
The solution
CanShield is a closure system concept that adds reclosability to beverage cans while preserving the familiar can format. It is designed for modern beverage packaging requirements and industry integration.
Why it matters
Better hygiene during consumption.
More freshness after opening.
More convenience on the go.
A smarter can experience without changing what consumers already know.
The perfect combination: aluminum can + recyclable reclosure.
"In a few years, people won't understand why we used to drink from unsealed cans."
Aluminum cans are one of the most efficient beverage formats in the world. But once opened, they lose one important function: they cannot be closed again.
CanShield solves this with an integrated closure system concept for beverage cans
Less PET plastic, because drink use cases shift from single-use bottles to resealable cans.
Less packaging waste and litter, because aluminium supports a stronger recycling loop than PET in many markets.
Lower system CO₂ footprint, because the shift reduces PET material demand and avoids wasted product.
CanShield is not about making a can reusable. It is about replacing single-use PET bottle use cases with resealable aluminum formats — improving convenience, reducing plastic use, preventing beverage waste, and shifting billion units a year into a more circular system.
Built for beverage brands, can industry partners and licensing opportunities. Re-Cap Solutions brings closure innovation to one of the world’s most established beverage formats.
