    Cans are still flawed. The inside is coated in plastic as well, so while the aluminum is recyclable, and indeed frequently recycled, the plastic inside is not.

      True but that does burn off during recycling so while it is not perfect they are better than glass or plastic from a carbon footprint POV.
