Recycle of 1 aluminum can = energy to run tv for at least 3hours

      




                                                                         

80 trillion aluminum cans are used by humans every year.
A used aluminium drink can can be recycled, reprocessed, remade and ready for re-sale in around 60 days.
In a whole year, that one can could be recycled eight times, saving enough energy to make 160 new cans.

Making one aluminium drink can from raw materials uses the same amount of energy that it takes to recycle 20. 
If you really want to put this into an everyday context recycling just one aluminium can saves enough energy to power a television for three hours.
Recycling aluminum requires 95% less energy, and produces 95% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than manufacturing primary aluminum.
