Mining and Production of Aluminum Ore<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Aluminum is a metal that is derived from the Earth\u2019s crust. Aluminum\nmetal is a silver-like in color, as well as, malleable, nonmagnetic, and\nductile. These desirable properties provide a wide range of advantages for society,\nwhich in turn gives aluminum infinite applications in various industries all\nacross the world, including manufacturing, construction, electronics,\nautomotive, food and beverage, medical technology, art, and much more. In fact,\nit is hard to identify an industry that does not rely on aluminum metal in some\nform or another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know that the process of mining and producing aluminum\ntakes more energy than any other metal? It\u2019s true! The amount of energy used to\nproduce just 4 cans of soda is hypothetically equal to filling up a single soda\ncan with gasoline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some additional aluminum facts that will make you\nthink twice before tossing your next soda can into the trash:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

♻ Soda and Beer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Among all of society, an average of 200 billion aluminum\ncans are consumed in just soda and beer alone. This number breaks down to 6,700\ncans per second! Another way to comprehend this gigantic value: hypothetically,\nwe could wrap a single-file line of cans around the perimeter of the world every\n17 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

♻ Energy Consumption<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

To produce 1 million tons of aluminum cans from natural\nmaterials, 5 million tons of bauxite ore is required. This has the energy\nequivalency of 32 million barrels of crude oil! In contrast, recycling aluminum\ncans saves all of our natural bauxite deposits, as well as, more than 75% of the\nenergy. It also reduces nearly 75% of the related pollutant emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

♻ Aluminum Recycling<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Aluminum cans are 100% recyclable and can be recycled, infinitely!\nIn fact, nearly 75% of all the aluminum ever produced is still being used to\nthis very day. An average of 105,800 aluminum cans are recycled every minute in\nthe United States. In 2011 alone, enough aluminum was recycled to have produced\n13 aircraft carriers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycling just 1 aluminum can saves enough electricity to\nrun a laptop computer for 4 hours or power your television for 1 hour. That is\na lot of saved energy! If you recycle aluminum for just one year, it is virtually\nequivalent to 6 years of power!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Recycle Aluminum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t just stop at cans! Aluminum comes in all sorts of versions. From power tools and electronics, to junk cars, appliances, sheet metal, and more, aluminum can be recycled in any form or condition! All you have to do is contact a local and reputable Indianapolis metal recycling center<\/a> to recycle your junk metal for cash on the spot!
