Aluminium is a type of metal. It has only been in use for about a century,
but is now a very useful and valuable material. Aluminium is used a lot to make drink cans because it is light and unbreakable, and is quick to chill.
Aluminium can also be rolled into very thin sheets, called foil. Aluminium foil is used to make takeaway containers, pie cases, milk bottle tops,
chocolate wrapping and lids for dairy products. Many people also use foil in their kitchens for cooking and wrapping up food.
Aluminium cans and foil can both be recycled, saving precious resources and energy. In fact, aluminium can be recycled over and over again
without losing its quality.
