Aluminium recycling is tremendously effective and beneficial to the environment. Indeed, it’s estimated that 90 million tonnes of CO2 are saved each year as a result of re-used aluminium.
It also requires 95 per cent less energy to recycle aluminium than it does to produce the metal from scratch – that’s a great saving and one which can have a significant impact on the wider environment.
Unlike some other metals, aluminium doesn’t wear away in its lifetime. This means it can be continually recycled, potentially infinitely. Around 75 per cent of the one billion tonnes of aluminium produced in history is still being used in the world, much of it having been recycled many, many times over.
Even something as small as a recycled drink can generate the following:
Quadrant, Litho, Clean/painted HE9, New/used H30, Remelt ingot, Alu wheels, Alu Cuttings, Cast, Old rolled, Thermal break, Cans, Swarf, Radiators, Irony
