Hey guys..the aluminium can drinks fans....do you know why we should think before we throw away the cans after we finished enjoying our drinks ?...Here are some reasons..
- It saves energy-a lot of energy. Today aluminum can recycling saves about 11.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh)-enough electricity to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years.
- Making a pound of aluminum from bauxite ore (a pound is about how much 34 aluminums beverage cans weigh) takes 7.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
- Making Aluminum from recycled aluminum scrap, on the other hand, takes only four percent of the energy-just one-third kWh. Recycling four aluminums cans saves as much energy as the energy in one cup of gasoline.
- That is also why used aluminum items have a high scarp value. Aluminum manufactures save energy and money by using recycled aluminums they will pay you for old cans-about a penny for every can.
