The aluminum can is light, chills quickly, and is convenient. It is becoming the nation's most popular beverage container. But that is only half of the story.
Because of returning used aluminum cans for recycling, we are really helping to save energy.
Every time an aluminum can is recycled, 95% of the energy needed to make new metal are saved.
Last year, the aluminum industry received over 7 billion used containers for recycling.
By putting those cans back to work, enough energy was saved to meet the residential electrical needs for a city like Pittsburgh, PA., for over a year.
Recycling also helps companies reduce their consumption of coal and other valuable natural resources.
Recycling is growing fast.
In the last 7 years, thousands of civic groups and individuals have earned over $180 million through recycling. It has also added an estimated 15,000 new jobs to the economy, jobs that did not exist before recycling was known to us.
