Aluminum cans (no longer made from tin!) are tough, durable, and costs less to recycle than to produce. In fact, 80-90% of all steel ever produced is still in use today.
As individuals and as businesses, we're getting pretty good at recycling them: after glass, we recycle more cans than any other material.
Would you pay someone to carry air? It sounds like an unusual question, but that is exactly what organizations are doing.
By disposing of uncompacted cans, tins and drums, businesses waste huge amounts of money transporting air and drastically increase the frequency of collections.
Better trash handling isn't simply about managing your waste better. It's about managing the volume, cost and logistics of waste disposal..
