Energy Savings: Recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required to produce new aluminum from raw ore. This is because aluminum can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality.
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: By saving energy, recycling aluminum also reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with production.
Conservation of Resources: Aluminum ore (bauxite) is a finite resource. Recycling reduces the need for new raw material extraction, which can be environmentally destructive.
Collection and Sorting: Cans are collected and sorted from other materials.
Cleaning and Processing: They are cleaned, melted down, and then cast into new aluminum products.
Energy and Resource Efficiency: Recycling plastic bottles reduces the need for new plastic production, which is energy-intensive and relies on fossil fuels. Recycled plastic also reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
Reduced Pollution: Recycling plastic bottles helps cut down on plastic pollution, which can harm marine life and ecosystems.
Collection and Sorting: Bottles are collected and sorted into different types of plastics.
Cleaning and Processing: They are cleaned, shredded into flakes, and melted down to create pellets used in new products.
Contamination: Plastic recycling can be challenging due to contamination with food residues or mixing of different plastic types.
Quality Issues: Recycled plastic can degrade in quality compared to new plastic, although advancements are improving this.
Energy Savings: Recycling glass saves about 30% of the energy required to make glass from raw materials. This is because the process of melting down recycled glass (cullet) requires less energy.
Waste Reduction: Glass is 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. This helps reduce landfill waste and resource extraction.
Collection and Sorting: Glass is collected and sorted by color (clear, green, brown).
Cleaning and Processing: It is cleaned, crushed into cullet, melted, and then used to make new glass products.
