What is Recycling?

Recycling is when we take materials from products that we are finished with and use those materials to make something new that we can use. It usually takes less money and fewer resources to make new things from recycled materials.

The Aluminium Packaging Recycling Organisation (Alupro) is a not-for-profit company which represents the leading aluminium packaging producers and re-processors in the UK. They tell us that "the metal can be simply re-melted - using only around 5% of the energy used in primary production - and can be recycled time and again without loss of quality"

 

Do you feel guilty the moment recycling is mentioned?

If you've always felt that you should be doing more but it all seems like such a hassle, fear not help is at hand. This web site is designed for people like you, who want to do more but haven't got loads of time to spare. If you would like recycling to be explained in black and white this web site is for you.

 

Are you overwhelmed by the enormity of the task?

Sometimes it can feel that the problem is so huge that our own small contribution is insignificant!

Can we really make a difference?

Yes we can!

Recycling just one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours or the equivalent of half a gallon of gasoline. Granted those savings are not going into your own pocket but they are helping the situation as a whole.
