• Ball manufactures over 100 million recyclable aluminum cans every day.
• Benefits of recycling aluminum cans: reduces air pollution by 95% and saves 90% of the energy required to make a can from aluminum ore.
• If each person recycled one aluminum can each month, over 3,000 gallons of gas would be saved.
• Recycled aluminum is identical to smelted aluminum, except for one thing: it takes only 1/20 of the energy to make it. Less energy means reduced greenhouse emissions. And like few other materials in the recycling chain, aluminum recycles over and over again.
51.9 billionAluminum cans

• Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates one job; landfilling 10,000 tons of waste creates six jobs; recycling 10,000 tons of waste creates 36 jobs.
• Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours – or the equivilant of a half gallon of gasoline.
• In 2007, recycling helped Missourians to divert 47% of all waste away from landfills.
• Each ton (2000 pounds) of recycled paper can save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, and three cubic yards of landfill space.
