How important is recycling aluminium?
- Aluminium is popular- In just the UK alone, around 8 billion aluminium cans are sold every year! These are used for fizzy drinks and fruit juices, as well as food cupboard items. And all 8 billion of these items can easily be recycled, multiple times, which can prevent a whole lot of energy and natural resources from being wasted, mining the necessary materials to produce new ones.
- Aluminium is perfect for recycling- Aluminium can be recycled an infinite number of times. This makes it the perfect material choice for large industries and growing manufacturers, as well as those wishing to preserve the wider environment.
- Recycling aluminium is good for the environment- Recycling just one tonne of aluminium actually saves up to nine tonnes of CO2 emissions that would otherwise be released into the wider environment!
- Recycling aluminium conserves energy- The recycling process for aluminium takes only 5% of the energy that would be used creating new aluminium.
- Recycling aluminium conserves natural resources- By recycling more aluminium, we can avoid the need to mine new Bauxite ore which is necessary for the production of new aluminium.
- Recycling aluminium is a speedy process- The entire aluminium recycling process for a beverage can, from being recycled to being ready for re-sale in shops and supermarkets, takes just two months.
- Recycling aluminium is effective- In a single year, each aluminium beverage can could theoretically be recycled seven or eight times, saving enough energy to manufacture 160 new aluminium cans.
- Aluminium has structural integrity- Aluminium offers an impressive structural integrity. This means that no matter how many times aluminium is recycled, it can perform just as flawlessly when used again and again, with no damage to the material quality.
