What’s the ultimate eco friendly recycling tool to have handy during the Euros? The West Coast Eco Can Crusher, of course.

The West Coast Eco Can Crusher will become your best friend during the Euros – apart from the pizza guy. Instead of sitting in a vast wasteland of empty cans, you can compact them with as much effort as it takes to stamp your foot on the ground when the ref gives away a penalty.

The crusher is made of steel and weighs just 2.2kg, which is nothing considering it’s basically just two bags of sugar. The dimensions are 100mm x 80mm x 330mm so it’s not overly huge and it’s suitable for cans up to 500ml. It covers cola cans all the way up to beer tinnies.

The crusher flattens your cans in one simple step…

The foot-powered crusher is a simple, effective and portable device that can be used for crushing both aluminium and steel cans. It’s seriously simple to use, so even after the match is over and the party has finished you’ll be able to crush any cans that are left lying around.

You might be wondering, ‘what’s so great about the West Coast Eco Can Crusher?’ Well, it saves storage space at home by crushing cans to approximately 30% of their original size. This means you can fit more into your green bin which then means you’ll be able to fit more recyclable material into it.

At the end of the day it’s an eco friendly tool, so it’s sure to make you feel a bit better about yourself. The West Coast Eco Can Crusher can be yours for just €20.99 on the Electric Ireland online store and it comes with a 1 year manufactures warranty.
