Aluminium – The Green metal

The global Aluminium Industry has an excellent record on the rehabilitation of land after bauxite mining. A recent survey showed that 89% of post-mining land in Northern Australia was restored to native forest and the remainder to commercial forest, agriculture and pasture.

• Aluminium recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 95%, compared to Primary aluminium production.
• It only takes 5% of the energy required to produce Primary Aluminium to recycle it.
• Aluminium is an ‘energy bank’ – most of the original input can be recovered every time the aluminium product is recycled.
• Aluminium can be recycled to infinity without any loss of quality or properties.
• Over 70% of the Aluminium ever produced worldwide is still in use today – 450 million tonnes.
• Recycling of Aluminium scrap in UK and Europe saves about 90 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually, equivalent to the annual emissions from 15 million cars.
