SAE Question: Why is recycling aluminum desirable?

Answer 1

ITS RE-USEABLE LIKE MAYBE FROM CANS TO AIRPLANES.

Answer 2

How I understand it is:

Aluminum comes from Bauxite, which is made and processed in S. America.  But to refine bauxite you basically need alot of energy - about 1,500 degrees F, to make it molten and get out all contaminates like iron, but by which = cut down rainforest trees and burn them to produce this amount of energy.  When you recycle you use one third or less the energy of making it from scratch-IT'S ALREADY ALUMINUM!  You are helping the environment and another plus is you are creating good 'ol American jobs!!

Answer 3

It is a great way to make a few extra dollars each time you turn them in at a recycling center.  Aluminum is eacy to be reused.  California has a great percentage of purchased Aluminum being recycled, already.  Even if you use the curbside recycling, someine is getting the money that you paid for the cans when you purchased your beverage.  Any lastly, It makes good sence and cents to do so.
