In the United States, approximately 31% of all aluminum products comes from recycled scrap. That's a great number, but with more help by everyone, we could make that number climb.
By recycling your aluminum products you are helping the environment in several ways. One of which is conserving energy. Each time aluminum is recycled it only takes only about 5% of the energy that it takes to produce new aluminum. In fact, Wikipedia states that aluminum can be recycled infinitely and never loses it's quality. And amazingly about 75% of all aluminum products that have been produced since 1888 is still in use today due to it's repeating recycling capabilities. Which is awesome!
