Alcoa Recycling Company, Inc.
We're here to help you recycle aluminum. One can at a time.
For as long as we've been making aluminum, we've been recycling aluminum. In fact, we've been doing this since we invented the smelting process in 1888. That's because aluminum is so valuable and so easy to recycle.
Alcoa Recycling Company was formed to share this important story with you, the consumer. We were set up in 1978 as the popularity of aluminum beverage cans began to explode. Our mission was to help the public understand how important it is to recycle, and to make it easier to do so.
Carbon footprint
Today the mission is still the same, and the reason to recycle is more important than ever. Recycling not only reduces litter and conserves landfill space, it is also an important key to slowing and stopping the growth of greenhouse gases caused by power generation.
Making aluminum from aluminum has a tiny fraction of the carbon footprint of making aluminum from ore. And the benefits are so great that it's important to recycle every single scrap. Including that can of Mountain Dew you're drinking right now.
