There are significant environmental benefits to recycling aluminium<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Recycling aluminium uses 95% less energy\u00a0than producing aluminium from raw materials.<\/li>\n
  • It also saves 97% of green house gas emissions produced in the primary production process.<\/li>\n
  • Recycling 1 tonne of aluminium saves 9 tonnes of CO2 emissions and 4 tonnes of bauxite – the raw material from which aluminium is made. 1 tonne of CO2 is equivalent to driving nearly 5,000 kilometers.<\/li>\n
  • The metal is a permanently available resource.\u00a0It is 100 per cent recyclable, for ever, so carbon savings increase every time it passes through the recycling loop.<\/li>\n
  • Making aluminium cans from recycled metal is 20 times more energy efficient than using primary material (i.e made from raw materials)<\/li>\n
  • The empty drink can you recycle could pass through the recycling process and be back on sale as a brand new can in just 60 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
