Aluminum is highly recyclableAluminum is highly recyclable.• 65% of all the aluminum ever produced is still in use
• Recycled aluminum uses only 5% of the energyRecycled aluminum uses only 5% of the energy required to produce primary aluminum
• Aluminum can be recycled over and over with no loss of physical propertiesVoreis, Richard D. “Meeting the call for ‘sustainable’ design.”Glass Magazine October 2004. www.glassmagazine.net/articles.php?id=178
