Recycling conserves valuable natural resources aluminum. Mining and refining processes can be environmentally destructive and energy-intensive.
Recycling benefits
Recycling aluminum is over 90% more efficient than mining and processing new bauxite.
Every year, recycled cans avoid nearly 5 percent of the world's total mining of Bauxite - and that's just from recycling aluminum cans.
*In order to recycle aluminum it must be separated from steel, plastic, and other debris this is why plastic closures on aluminum cannabis cans go into the ocean or a landfill and add to the global problem of aluminum loss.
