Fun recycling facts |

April 01, 2006.
Courtesy of the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) and Beverage Can Makers Europe (BCME), here are some fun facts about metal packaging and its recyclability:

* The average US citizen consumes 2.5 cans of soda each day at work.
* Recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours.
* A baby is born every three seconds; in that time, 140 cans are born.
* The energy saved each year through can recycling could light a city the size of Washington, DC for 3.7 years.
