Fun facts about Aluminum Recycling

Did you know that aluminum is the most recyclable metal on the planet? In fact, it is estimated that over 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today, thanks to the recycling process. This is because aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing any of its quality or strength.

But did you know that recycling just one aluminum can save enough energy to power a TV for three hours? That’s right – the energy saved from recycling one aluminum can is enough to power a 60-watt light bulb for 20 hours. And if every American recycled just one more can per week, we could save enough energy to power 100,000 homes for an entire year.

Recycling aluminum also has a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, recycling one ton of aluminum can save up to nine tons of CO2 emissions. So next time you finish a can of soda or beer, remember to recycle it – not only will you be helping the environment, but you’ll also be saving energy and resources.
