| Aug 20, 2019 at 7:30 | comment | added | user2451 | Side note: From BBC The elements podcast on alumin(i)um (bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02rnv8s) Yes it is indeed perfectly recycable, but we are still producing new material because the current 'stock' is tied up in buildings and misc objects. The material becoming available out of this stock for recycling is far less than the demand. | |
| Aug 20, 2019 at 7:08 | comment | added | RollingCompass | @Erik, minimizing aluminium is one option, but because aluminum can almost perfectly be recycled, substitung it might not always be the best choice. For example, canned foods are often in aluminum cans (or steel/tin). Both glas and plastic as alternative packaging is more difficult to recycle. | |
