Aluminum Cans

An aluminum can is made up of two parts – the body and the end, or 'tab'. These parts are made using two different processes, and are only joined together after the can has been filled.

Did you know?…

  • Five tons of bauxite (aluminum ore) is needed to make one ton of aluminum cans.

  • Aluminum cans cool quicker than any other drinks package, saving energy and refrigeration costs.

Comalco, 1992.
