Aluminum is among the most recycled materials in the world, with approximately 70 percent of all aluminum ever produced since the late 1800's still in use today. Recycled aluminum is identical to smelted aluminum, except for one thing: it takes only 1/20 of the energy to make it. Less energy means reduced greenhouse emissions. www.alcoa.com |
