In 1974, Dr. F. Sherwood Rowland and Dr. Mario Molina proposed that chlorofluorocarbons (or CFCs) deplete the stratospheric ozone layer. CFCs were used in many household items like refrigerators and air conditioning units. They were also used in aerosol cans as propellants. However, because of Rowland and Molina’s study, many American aerosol manufacturers switched from […]

Aerosol cans are made from either steel (about 75% of the time) or aluminum (about 25% percent of the time). This means that they are recyclable. In fact, most steel aerosol cans are made up of about 25% recycled material. They are extremely sustainable because, unlike many materials, aerosol cans can be recycled indefinitely without […]
