Get the Facts about Aluminum
At Diversity Recycling, 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 sulfur 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.
