Abstract
A furan can for containing a product includes a sealed container that contains the product and includes a furan resin selected from the group consisting of: poly (ethylene 2, 5-furan dicarboxylate) (PEF), poly (butylene 2, 5-furan dicarboxylate) (PBF), poly (trim ethylene furan dicarboxylate) (PTF), poly (propylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF), and poly (neopentyl 2, 5-furandicarboxylate) (PNF); and a release mechanism to open the container and access the product. The can may further include a generally cylindrical shell molded to have a sealed bottom and a straight wall that includes the furan resin; and a cap to seal the shell, the cap having the release mechanism and a rim that includes the furan resin; wherein the rim of the cap is bonded to the wall of the shell to releasably seal the product inside the can.
