also a good reason that it takes so much energy to make is because aluminum is highly reactive and almost never is found in its metallic state. Compounds of it need to be refined, heated up until molten, held there, and then electrolyzed. The electrolysis part can be thought of as adding energy to separate nonillions of stuck together tiny strong magnets which is extracting the aluminum from the rest of the molecule.

Cans and bottles and basic "town" crap ended up along the county road which split my Iowa farm. One nice autumn day in 1977, having consumed too much (actually, as it turned out, it was the right amount) cold beer with a couple of neighboring farmers, I began to rant about all the crap along my land frontage. One farmer jokingly suggested that I call my congressman. Everyone laughed but me. So, I grab my phone, call information to find out my congressman's number, and actually him to give him Hell. I suggested at least a 5-cent charge like the old "pop" bottles back in the day. What happens next? Iowa begins to charge a nickel per bottle or can. The pragmatic, no change, no progressive Conservatives blew a head gasket. But, the law prevailed. Recycling came into being in Iowa just because some half-drunk Iowa farmers called a congressman (Well, actually I called). So, sue me.

In the USA we don't send the aluminum cans overseas. They're recycled right here. The last load I picked up was in south Texas and I took it to Alcoa, TN, to be made into aluminum wheels. That was a load of cans but I've also hauled the ingots. I just wish I had video from the way my trailer was unloaded. I do have at least one picture of the way it was loaded though. It's similar for plastic bottles too. There's a place in Jackson, MS I used to pick up preforms a lot. The loads weighed 42,000 pounds but could be a bit top-heavy.

You should not be put off by the energy usage for recycling cans. It is still VASTLY less than the cost to produce new cans! What this video only briefly mentions is how hard it is to get aluminum out of the ground and smelt it into a usable form. Even compared to glass it is drastically harder. This is why using aluminum cans is so important...it ensures that the cans stay in circulation and are infinitely recyclable. If you want to make a big difference for the planet, contact your local authorities and start an effort for deposit programs (where you get $ for recycling cans). MOST of the world does not have these programs, which greatly increases recycle rates. Theoretically, if people recycled all aluminum cans, we could supply all the canned beverage needs without ever mining another lb. of aluminum from the ground.

I found a Crush orange soda can with local cold storage address from the 70s or so when I was mushroom hunting a few years ago.

I read that aluminium was discovered already in the late 16 hundreds in Europe, but as mentioned in the video, it’s been extremely expensive to extract for many years. However it was called Aluminium. Around 1850 or so an American engineer (forgot his) developed a furnace which was highly effective and made it drop drastically in price. This engineer used the wrong spelling in his patent description but as a act of honor for the merited contributor to US-industry they adopted „Aluminum“.

So is it correct to use both terms or Aluminum is the only correct choice ?

"I read that..." The spelling "aluminum" is a spelling first used by the British Chemist, Humphrey Davy. He first proposed the name "alumia" in 1808. In 1811 he published a paper calling it "aluminium". In 1812 he published a chemistry textbook, in it he called it "aluminum".

@@sammadsaeed3373, either name is considered acceptable, because they have both been used since the 1800s, from the very beginning of the use of the metal. It's just a variant spelling, like "grey" and "gray", "color" or "colour", "realize" or "realise".

I know the answer to this! I used to drive an 18-wheeler years ago here in Texas, I would carry fresh beef from a privately owned packing plant before the corporations bought all of them out, from East Texas all the way to New Mexico to a lunch meat factory. After unloading sometimes they would have me stop by this place where everybody brought their aluminum cans and they were crushed and compacted into square aluminum can bails. I would then take my trailer full of them down below San Antonio a little ways on i-37 to an aluminum smelting plant where they would melt them down into molds and make aluminum ingots that were probably 1 ft high 3 ft wide and 46 ft long. As to where they went after that I was no longer involved and would go home and sleep 👍🏻🛌

I could make the whole industry come to a standstill if I decided not to return my beer cans.

In New York, (didn't know it was different in other states, hence the edit) you get five cents for each can you recycle. So, if you want to make one million dollars then, you'd have to recycle twenty million cans!

If that's true, you would expect the alloy to increase in magnesium content each time the can is recycled. Unless they add virgin aluminum.
