The purpose of this study is to analysis the materials flow of steel cans from producing to discarding, finding problems in materials flow diagram in performance recycling of steel cans, and improvement ways for relevant systems and policies. Through supply various statics in KECO, it was found that the amount of steel calculated in Korea is 80,555 thousand tons. This amounts is reused from steel scrap of 35,143 thousand tons. After that producing steel was manufactured to steel plate, and manufactured steel plate produced steel cans of 273 thousand tons. The steel cans of 103.2 thousand tons was released in Korea. The 89.5 thousand tons of wastes for recycling was 86.8% for total of 103.2 thousand tons for recycling. The amount of recycling was assumed that there is no loss in collection, sorting and packing stage. According to such studies, a materials flow diagram was drafted and the problems in recycling for each stage were reviewed. In consequence plan to improve consist of materials and structure in cans in production stage, plans to restrict inclusion of foreign particles in discardment and selection section, plan to provide different support in funding and granting quality ratings in the sorting and compression section was suggested.
