ABSTRACT:
A method of removing coatings, such as paint, epoxy resin, comestible polymeric coatings, from the surface of metallic containers, such as aluminum beverage cans, is disclosed. The metallic surfaces of containers are contacted with a mixture of bacteria and nutrient medium. The bacteria used are capable of removing paint, epoxy resins, and coatings from metallic surfaces, and are preferably ATCC #53922 bacteria. Also disclosed is an apparatus suitable for use in the invention, and further described is a reagent for paint removal from beverage cans.
