The Benefits of Recycling Aluminum Cans

Saves Energy
It takes 95% less energy to recycle aluminum than to create it from raw materials.

* Recycling one can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours or a 100-watt light bulb for four hours.

* Recycling 40 cans conserves the same energy as one gallon of gasoline.

Conserves The Environment
Recycling aluminum cans is a closed-loop system. Every can is infinitely recyclable.

* Recycled aluminum requires less energy, so it produces 95% less emissions, such as greenhouse gases.

* Recycling aluminum helps conserve and preserve the environment.

More Than Pays For Itself
Aluminum is the only packaging material that more than covers the cost of collection and reprocessing for itself, and subsidizes other containers, including PET and glass!

*  Recyclers paid nearly $1 billion for aluminum beverage cans last year.
