Why is over two-thirds of all the aluminum ever produced still in use today?

Aluminum is a unique metal: strong, durable, flexible, impermeable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and 100% recyclable. In fact, aluminum is at the top of the recycling chain because of its infinite recyclability, without any degradation in its quality.
Everything...including the kitchen sink.
Because recycled aluminum is considerably less expensive than aluminum produced from virgin ore, many manufacturers are eager to specify if for use in their products.
Recycled aluminum can take many forms, allowing its use in a vast array of products. Just look around you.
Aluminum saves more energy during recycling than any other material.
Recycling aluminum requires only 5% of the energy as compared with the production of native aluminum from bauxite ore.
Recycling glass requires a significantly higher energy percentage rate, 67%, when compared to the production of glass from sand, soda ash, and limestone. Plastic is another material that does not recycle as efficiently as we would like it to, because the quality of plastic is degraded during processing.
