Did you know?
The first aluminum beverage can was manufactured
by Reynolds Metal Company in 1963 and used to package
a diet cola called "Slenderella."
Royal Crown adopted the aluminum can in
1964, and by 1967 Pepsi and Coke followed.
Did you know that the energy saved from
recycling a can versus creating a new one is enough
to power a television for three hours?
Or that last year 54 billion cans were recycled, saving
the energy equivalent to 15 million barrels of crude
oil - America's entire gas consumption for one day?
1 pound = 40 to 42 cans
Aluminum cans today are 52% lighter than they were
20 years ago
