Aluminum Stat Feb 2025

Aluminum Energy Stats GraphicRecycling one ton of aluminum cans conserves more than 152 million Btu—that’s enough energy to power an average home for over two months! 💡

💡 What’s a Btu? It stands for British Thermal Unit, a simple way to measure energy. Think of it as the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

By recycling aluminum, we save huge amounts of energy and reduce our environmental footprint. Keep recycling those cans! 🥫
