Aluminum is an alloy<\/a> which is a compound made by melting two or more elements together.\u00a0 One element is metal and the rest consists of non-metal elements.\u00a0 Aluminum can be a combination of iron, magnesium, silicon, copper<\/a>, or zinc.\u00a0 Easily found in our everyday lives, aluminum should always be recycled and there are many benefits to recycling this alloy within your business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Should I Recycle Aluminum Scrap Metal?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Economic Benefits of Recycling Aluminum Scrap<\/b><\/h3>\n

By recycling aluminum, you are contributing to the economy in a very positive way.\u00a0 Recycling generates jobs and helps to pay for a vast number of community services.\u00a0 The aluminum industry pays out close to a billion dollars for recycled aluminum cans each year!\u00a0 This is money that can go to support local organizations helping people from all angles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reduce Landfill Waste<\/b><\/h3>\n

Did you know that more than 100 billion aluminum cans are sold in the United States each year?\u00a0 We are only recycling less than half of this number.\u00a0 Similarly, in other countries, about the same amount of aluminum cans are also incinerated or sent to landfills.\u00a0 Aside from a surplus of cans, imagine the amount of waste that accumulates when we start to discard car, train, airplane parts, and various other forms of transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Easily Found In Everyday Products<\/b><\/h3>\n

Aluminum is a metal we come across everyday.\u00a0 It comes in all shapes and sizes.\u00a0 Aluminum can be found as the packaging for beverages, window and door frames, kitchen utensils, and car parts to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recycling Aluminum Saves Energy<\/b><\/h3>\n

When aluminum is not recycled properly, cans and other discarded aluminum scrap have to be replaced entirely from raw materials.\u00a0 This wastes energy, causes environmental damage, and cuts into precious natural resources.\u00a0 Recycling aluminum saves 90% to 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from scratch.\u00a0 According to the Container Recycling Institute, \u201cthe energy required to replace a discarded can with new aluminum from bauxite ore is enough to keep a 100-watt incandescent light bulb burning for five hours or to power the average laptop computer for 11 hours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Limitless Rounds of Recycling\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Aluminum is a sustainable metal which can be recycled over and over again with no loss of material through the process.\u00a0 There is no limit to the amount of times aluminum can be recycled.\u00a0 If you toss an aluminum can into your recycling bin today, it will be recycled and can be back on the store shelf in as little as 60 days!<\/span><\/p>\n
