Recycling saves 95 percent of the energy required to make aluminum from ore.
In 1996, aluminum companies saved the equivalent of over 18.4 million barrels of oil — or 10.8 billion kilowatt hours. This represents enough energy to supply the electrical needs of a city the size of Pittsburgh for about six years.

`

In 1972, 53 million pounds of aluminum were recycled. Today, we exceed that amount weekly.
Some 119,482 cans are recycled every minute nationwide.

Used aluminum cans that are recycled return to store shelves within 60 days.
