Aluminum —
from cans, from cars, from anything —
leads in recycling. The most valuable material in the waste
stream, it pays its own way through the recycling loop.
And aluminum made from scrap requires only 5% of
the energy it takes to produce the same metal
from bauxite.
There is no other material quite like aluminum.
It is light in weight ■highly resistant to corrosion
■strong in alloys ■an excellent conductor of electricity and heat
■an excellent reflector of heat and light ■nonmagnetic
■nontoxic ■outstanding in cryogenic properties
■highly workable ■easy to assemble
■and naturally-good looking.
