Recycling is an excellent way to conserve resources and help the environment. Because of aluminium's intrinsic value, all used aluminium can be recycled economically and in an environmentally sound manner.

For more information on recycling in your area contact your local aluminium association. In several countries organisations have been set up specifically to promote aluminium recycling, particularly aluminium cans and foil:

• Alupro - aluminium can recycling organization
• Alufoil - aluminium Foil Recycling Campaign
• Aluminum Association - promotes aluminium recycling  
• European Aluminium Association - promotes aluminium recycling
• EAFA - European Aluminium Foil Association
• Secretariat for Aluminium and the Environment - Danish group set up to develop targeted aluminium recycling projects.  
• IGORA - Swiss cooperative society for can recycling
