The benefits of recycling aluminium foil
It can be recycled by breaking it down into small pieces. These are then melted down to create new aluminium products.
Recycling aluminium foil is an easy way to reduce your environmental impact.
Recycling aluminium foil helps the environment in several ways.
It requires less energy to recycle aluminium than it does to produce new aluminium from scratch. This means that recycling aluminium foil can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Recycling protects our natural resources and saves landfill space.
By recycling aluminium foil, you can help reduce energy consumption, which is great for the environment.
If you have aluminium foil that you would like to recycle, simply place it in your recycling bin. You can also check with your local recycling centre to see if they accept aluminium foil.
Economic benefits
In addition to being good for the environment, recycling aluminium foil also has economic benefits. Recycling aluminium creates jobs in the recycling industry and helps to keep metal prices down.
According to the Aluminum Association, recycling just one tonne of aluminium foil can save up to 913 kg of carbon dioxide emissions. This is equivalent to the emissions from driving a car for over 10,000 km!
Clean your recycling
When recycling aluminium foil, it is important to make sure that it is clean and free of food debris. Otherwise, the foil may contaminate other recyclables or end up in landfill.
So, next time you finish using aluminium foil, make sure to clean it then recycle it. It’s good for the environment and it’s good for the economy.
