The Association for the Recycling of Aluminum Products has just launched a dossier to inform and disseminate information about these containers. This dossier contains detailed information on different aluminum container formats, as well as basic information such as the advantages of recycling, the recycling process and the recycling rate for the last fiscal year.
“Thanks to this recycling cycle, 75% of all the aluminum that has been manufactured for 100 years is currently in use and, best of all, without losing quality, because aluminum can be recycled indefinitely,” Arpal points out. They also add that the advantages of recycling aluminum containers include energy savings, a reduction in the use of natural resources (bauxite ore), a decrease in landfill saturation and a reduction in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
This association also informs about a strategy that it has been developing for more than a decade, the ‘Direct Didactics’ or ‘DiDI’, which consists of the direct transmission, from Arpal and to different groups, of knowledge and awareness about the importance of recycling aluminum containers so that, once trained, they can explain the message in other forums, thus creating a chain of recycling and awareness about aluminum containers.
