TIN CAN CELEBRATIONS: 150 Tears Since First Patent

Abstract

From very modest beginnings over 150 years ago, production of the tin‐plate industry in the U.K. has grown to 1 million tons yearly, sufficient for 6,000 million tin cans—more than two cans a week for every man, woman and child. The man largely responsible for the introduction of tin canning was Peter Durand, whose specification in 1810 has led to such a change in our domestic cooking habits.
