FullCan reclaims the 15% of usable product that traditional cans leave behind. Near-complete evacuation technology that saves manufacturers money and reduces waste at scale.
The average aerosol can retains 12–15% of product as unrecoverable waste. Enter your annual fill volume and see the dollar value sitting in your landfill.
These numbers get your attention. A 30-minute call gets you the actual figure for your product lines.
Assumptions: 13% average residual loss (industry range: 12–15%); standard 12 oz aerosol fill; $0.04/oz average blended product value (consumer goods range: $0.02–$0.12/oz). Recoverable value assumes FullCan achieves 10% net improvement over baseline. Your actual figures depend on product type, fill weight, and formulation cost — which is exactly why we offer a free assessment call.
When propellant pressure drops, usable product stays trapped inside the can. Consumers throw it away. Manufacturers absorb the cost. The environment takes the hit. It's been this way since the 1940s.
Traditional alternatives like Bag-on-Valve add 15-25% to packaging costs. FullCan changes the equation entirely.
In a typical aerosol can, up to 15% of the product never reaches the consumer. That's money, materials, and chemistry sitting in a landfill.
FullCan targets 95-99% product evacuation from the same standard can.
We analyze your current can format, product chemistry, and filling line setup to identify integration points.
Our evacuation technology installs into your existing aerosol production line. No new cans, no new machinery.
We run controlled tests to measure evacuation rates and confirm performance against your product specifications.
Once validated, roll out across product lines. Track savings in real time with per-unit yield reporting.
Same aerosol can. Dramatically different economics.
| Metric | Traditional Aerosol | FullCan Approach New |
|---|---|---|
| Product Evacuation Rate | ~85% of contents dispensed | 95-99% of contents dispensed |
| Wasted Product Per Can | Up to 15% per unit | 1-5% per unit |
| Requires New Can Design | N/A | No — works with standard cans |
| Filling Line Changes | N/A | Minimal — retrofit installation |
| Cost Premium vs. Standard | Baseline | Lower net cost after waste savings |
| Bag-on-Valve Comparison | +15-25% packaging cost | Fraction of BoV cost |
| Environmental Impact | Residual product in landfill | Reduced — less waste, fewer cans needed |
| Consumer Experience | Product runs out early | Full value — customers get what they paid for |
At scale, that's millions in recovered product value annually for mid-size manufacturers.
FullCan's aerosol reclamation process is patent-pending. Proprietary design delivering 95–99% product evacuation — not achievable with standard valve configurations.
Works with your existing filling lines. FullCan integrates into your current aerosol production setup without new cans, new machinery, or supply chain disruption. This is the most common first question on every sales call — and the answer is always no.
Independent studies consistently show the average aerosol can retains 12–15% of product as unusable residual waste when propellant pressure drops. That's not a rounding error — for a 50M-can operation it's millions of dollars sitting in landfills.
EPA universal waste rules, state EPR packaging laws, and incoming EU mandates are turning aerosol waste into a real balance-sheet liability. Manufacturers who reclaim product avoid the worst of it.
Compliance deadlines are approaching. Talk to us.
More states are introducing EPR legislation. The EU PPWR goes live in months. Acting now costs less than reacting later.Our technology maximizes product dispensing from standard aerosol cans, targeting 95-99% evacuation without expensive packaging overhauls.
Designed to integrate with current aerosol manufacturing infrastructure. No new cans, no new filling lines, no supply chain disruption.
Less wasted product means fewer cans manufactured, less hazardous waste in landfills, and a measurably smaller environmental footprint.
