Re-Can, developed by MAL Research & Development, is a unique desk toy that showcases their aluminium-air technology in a fun and accessible way by powering a fan, giving users a hands-on experience with clean, CO₂-free energy. This product is more than just a toy; it symbolises a shift towards sustainable energy and recycling. It’s the first of its kind—no desk toy like this has ever been made before.

​

Each Re-Can is hand built by our team in Devon, United Kingdom, with care and attention to detail. The first 150 units will be part of the exclusive Re-Can Originals collection, individually numbered to mark their significance. After these, future Re-Cans won’t carry the Originals label, making yours truly special.

​

How It Works

​

The Re-Can utilises aluminium-air technology, generating electricity through a chemical reaction between aluminium and a specialised electrolyte. Unlike traditional rechargeable batteries, the Re-Can doesn’t need recharging; instead, it provides a safe, efficient, and recyclable energy solution that turns aluminium cans into a valuable resource. The Re-Can’s ability to power a fan demonstrates the potential of this innovative technology.
