ALUMINUM’S ROLE CREATING A GREENER ECONOMY

Aluminum is a unique metal. It is strong, durable, flexible, impermeable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and 100% recyclable. Thanks to its infinite recyclability, without any degradation in its quality, aluminum resides at the pinnacle of the recycling chain. More than two-thirds of all the aluminum ever produced remains in use today.

Aluminum saves more energy during recycling than any other material. Recycling aluminum requires only 5% of the energy when compared with the production of native aluminum from bauxite ore. Aluminum may be recycled and reused again and again at a fraction of the initial production costs without losing any of its characteristics or quality. Recycling of aluminum uses less energy and can offer substantial costs benefits, which appeals to manufactures, end users and environmental groups.
