      They have plastic coating, yes, but way less plastic and way easier to just burn it off in the crucible.

      That’s like saying cars and trucks are made of paint because they have a layer of it on the outside.

      Can liners are both an extremely small portion of the overall container as well as being absolutely essential for most canned beverages.

      Additionally, many/most manufacturers have or are moving away from liner materials that contain BPA.
