Life Cycle of Aluminum Cans Drives Recycling Benefits
The aluminum can cycle saves energy and reduces emissions and water pollution when recycled. Cans regain shelf presence in about 60 days, while producing 95 percent less energy use and 97 percent less water pollution than ore. The Can Manufacturers Institute funds recycling events and community projects with proceeds. Canned beverages offer chillability, long shelf life, and storage convenience, expanding use to energy drinks, coffee, wine, dairy, and nutraceuticals.
