Why Should We Recycle Aluminium Cans?

Why Should We Recycle Aluminium Cans?

 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.
