Cannabis Infused Drinks
State & Federal packaging requirements

CANNABIS

§C15413 “(b) A package containing cannabis goods shall be tamper-evident and child-resistant. If the package contains multiple servings, the package must also be resealable.” 

Cannabis-infused beverages are growing rapidly and are expected to reach over $2 billion in annual sales by 2026.

Protecting our children,

lowering the cost of goods,

and providing an all-aluminum can end is key for

a sustainable planet and safety.

EXPENSIVE PLASTIC CP/TE CLOSURES ARE THE MOST COMMONLY USED CANNABIS CLOSURE BUT,

Cannabis Brands want

cost-effective, options.

Pop Top Lock delivers.

Why do THC Infused Drinks currently, use an expensive plastic closure?… that’s all there is, until now.

Currently, the Pop Top Lock team has not found any aluminum on aluminum SOT can end for sale for the beverage industry that is 100% fully recyclable and meets the federal and state requirements for Cannabis drinks; child-resistant, tamper-evident, and reclosable.

Cannabis makers use expensive plastic CR/TE can ends for aluminum closures because that is their only option. To the great misfortune of a brand’s sustainability goals and ethos, all of those cans add more plastic to production and the environment. We also have a greater chance of losing valuable aluminum by using plastic closures as some facilities will refuse to recycle them. This problem is only getting worse as the cannabis-infused drink market grows at a rapid pace. 

Pop Top Lock Cannabis design finally gives Manufacturers the choice to use fully recyclable cans for their products to help lower plastic into the environment (assuming they are not using plastic wraps)and to lower their cost of goods.

The Cannabis market worldwide is projected to reach a revenue of US$51.27bn in 2023. It is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2023-2028) of 14.95%, resulting in a market volume of US$102.90bn by 2028.

Pop Top Lock's goal is to expand into other applications beyond beverages, that need a Child-proof, tamper-evident, reclosable, and resealable closure.

Pop Top Lock is a global solution 

for sustainable packaging the cannabis industry to

reduce plastic pollution,

stop unnecessary aluminum waste, 

save millions, eventually billions of dollars in aluminum loss,

and reduce manufacturing production costs.

*How promoting recycling helps your brand’s bottom line*

Saving this money will keep the aluminum can wholesale price stabilized as there will not be an “aluminum shortage” as there has been in the past. And, we don’t need to have unnecessary CO2 emissions and expenses mining pure aluminum.

THC-infused drink sales are projected to grow globally at a CAGR of 5.6% by 2026. SkyQuest projects that the aluminum cans market will attain a USD 87.1 billion value by 2030. 

The demand for aluminum is growing, especially in the beverage space, and the supply of aluminum needs to be maximized for brands to maintain profit margins.

Recycling helps our earth heal and sustain a circular economy and it also helps the manufacturer’s bottom line by maintaining our aluminum supply which allows drink manufacturers and supplier costs of goods to remain low.
