ALUMINUM HAS INHERENT VALUE
As the leading recycled material in the world, aluminum pays for many municipal recycling programs, saves billions of dollars annually in energy costs, helps create thousands of jobs and tax dollars in the collecting and processing industries, and lowers the cost of aluminum.

ALUMINUM MAKES SENSE COMMERCIALLY...
The numbers speak for themselves. Nearly seven billion aluminum foil containers are produced annually by the industry—and all are 100% recyclable. One third of all aluminum comes from recycled metal.

...AND ENVIRONMENTALLY
The amount of aluminum recycled has doubled in the last ten years and now represents 28% of the scrap value of all recycled materials. It all adds up—recycling aluminum makes sound commercial as well as environmental sense.

RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING HELPS THE COMMUNITY
In our schools, in our homes, and on our streets, recycling has become a daily part of American life. Its impact is especially felt in our communities where less aluminum trash means less litter and helps conserve landfill space. Recycling proceeds also help support community projects like Habitat for Humanity.
