Dan Can is a superhero character created by Torfaen County Borough Council to promote recycling. Dan Can fights villains like Billy Bottle and Candy Carton to get the recycling message across in a fun way for children through comics, recycling trucks, and a website. The campaign has been a success, gaining praise from politicians and inspiring children to encourage their parents to recycle.
