Recycling of aluminum beverage cans

Aluminum beverage cans, also called aluminum cans.

Since its appearance in 1963, the use of aluminum cans has experienced a large-scale explosive growth.

Data from 2002 showed that the world produced 170 billion aluminum beverage cans and consumed 2.38 million tons of 3004 aluminum alloy aluminum coils with a diameter of 0.28 mm to 0.31 mm.

According to data from some countries, it only takes about 60 days for an aluminum can to go from the hands of consumers to being recycled, reproduced, and processed, and then made into a new can and returned to the shelf. This time may be shortened in the future as consumption rates and recycled aluminum processing capacity change.

In a newly manufactured can, more than half of the material may come from recycled aluminum.

Using recycled aluminum to process cans can save energy and protect the environment, save energy, and recycle aluminum.
