- There would be 12 million less full dustbins each year in the UK if all aluminium drinks cans were recycled!
- Recycling aluminium uses only 5% of the power needed to make aluminium from raw materials. In other words, 20 cans from recycled
aluminium use the same power as just 1 can made from new aluminium!
- Over 4 billion aluminium drinks cans were sold in 1998 - if they were all collected for recycling, over £38 million would have been paid to
collectors. That's a lot of pocket money!
- If all of the aluminium cans recycled in the UK in 1998 were laid end to end they would stretch from Land's End to John O'Groats 160
times, with some to spare!
