HOW MUCH ENERGY AND CO₂ DOES 1KG OF RECYCLED ALUMINUM SAVE?
Primary aluminum (from bauxite) is among the most energy-intensive materials to produce. But recycled aluminum changes the game – offering massive environmental savings.
♻️ 1. Up to 95% energy savings
-
Primary aluminum: uses ~14–16 kWh per kg
-
Recycled aluminum: uses only ~0.7–1 kWh per kg
➡️ That’s a savings of 13–15 kWh per kg of aluminum.
Recycling just 1 ton = 13,000+ kWh saved – enough to power 4 homes for a month!
🌍 2. Up to 95% less CO₂ emissions
-
Primary aluminum emits ~10–12 kg CO₂ per kg
-
Recycled emits only ~0.5–1 kg CO₂ per kg
➡️ Each kg of recycled aluminum avoids ~10 kg of CO₂
≈ emissions from driving a car 50–60 kilometers!
📊 Summary:
| Per 1kg of aluminum | Primary | Recycled | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | ~14 kWh | ~1 kWh | ~13 kWh |
| CO₂ emissions | ~11 kg | ~1 kg |
~10 kg
