Recycling:
The role of recycling in the aluminum industry cannot be overstated. Recycling is a critical component of the industry, both from its contributions to the environment and because of the favorable economic impact on production. This dual benefit is probably the reason aluminum beverage cans now account for virtually all of the beverage can market, and most of the total single-serve beverage market.
Yet again, the contribution of recycling has had a positive impact on the industry with energy savings brought about with the increased proportion of recycled metal as a resource. For instance, the energy used to produce aluminum is saved for future re-use through recycling. Recycling saves almost 95 percent of the energy needed to produce aluminum from its original source, bauxite ore.
As the use of aluminum has grown, the industry has become a pioneer in the field of recycling, earning worldwide recognition as a leader in materials recovery. In fact, as of 2000, over one third of the total U.S. aluminum supply is provided through recycling. Clearly, the aluminum industry's commitment to recyclable resources is a major factor both in the industry's growth and improved living environments for communities across the country. Aluminum in autos accounts for 5-to-10 percent of scrapped automobiles by weight, but represents 30-to-50 percent of its scrap value.
