Recycled aluminium takes 95% less energy to produce than metal produced from the raw bauxite ore, with carbon emissions reduced by the same amount. Aluminium’s high value per tonne also means there are many commercial operations that will collect and recycle aluminium, making it one of the most widely recycled packaging materials across Europe.
