PURPOSE:To re-utilize a container main body as a storage container by a method wherein an internal container body made of a shape memory resin or shape memory rubber is provided inside of a container main body, and the contracted shape is previously stored in the internal container body so that the internal container is contracted and deformed when leftovers of a material is discarded. CONSTITUTION:A recycle container 1 consists of a drum can 2 as a container main body to store a material 4 containing chemical substances such as adhesives, sealing materials and paints, etc., and an internal container body 3 which is placed in the drum can 2 such as a bushing and integrated with the drum can 2. The internal container body is formed using a generally known shape memory resin such as polynorbornene, trans-1,4-polyisoprene, styrene- butadiene copolymer or polyurethane, etc. The container main body can be contracted and deformed to the stored shape by heating the internal container body to the shape recovery temperature, and leftovers of a material is stored in the container main body just like being wrapped. |
