Company Overview
The original inspiration for Flat Can Recycling (FCR) was to close the loop on the product life cycle of the aerosol marking paint being sold at MMD, our sister company. With more discussion surrounding our environment and the impact we can have on it; FCR was formed to mitigate the damage by the construction and locating industries. Employees and customers alike took a leap of faith in 2014 by supporting this grass roots idea of improving our environment by recycling toxic industry materials.

There was an existing industry belief that you can just toss these cans in the garbage and it was “fine”. Little did we know that we were creating massive damage to our environment. After much research and data, we are showing our industry that it is possible to change the industries we serve.
