Get the Facts about Aluminum
At General Recycling Industries Ltd., we recycle multiple metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal and easy to recycle. Here are a few more interesting facts about aluminum and recycling:
-
Aluminum is a sustainable and durable metal. In fact, it’s the most abundant of all metals on earth.
-
Over two-thirds of all previously produced aluminum is still used today.
-
Smelting new aluminum materials (rather than recycling aluminum already in use) produces toxic nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide, both key elements of acid rain and smog.
-
Producing new aluminum also involves 5 tons of bauxite ore per one ton of aluminum. This refining process creates toxic sludge that may contaminate groundwater.
-
Recycling just 434 grams of aluminum saves nearly 7 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity.
-
There is no limit to how many times the same piece of aluminum can be recycled; the process can happen repeatedly without any loss of material, making aluminum a uniquely sustainable metal.
-
Recycling aluminum is fast, inexpensive, and energy-efficient.
