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.
