Aluminum is everywhere. We see it in soft drink cans, beer cans, pie plates, foil, packaging, gutters, aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, computers, cookware, siding, wire and more. Aluminum is practically the perfect recyclable material. Out of the most common recyclable materials that clutter up our landfills—glass, paper, metals, cardboard, plastics—aluminum is the only material that’s 100 % endlessly recyclable, and that pays for itself.
