Aluminum and steel, used to make cans for beverages and food, have an authentic recycling story. Unlike the materials mentioned in “World Faces Trash Glut After China Ban” (Page One, Dec. 20), cans are accepted everywhere, they are relatively easy to sort and the whole container is recyclable.
A circular system exists in the U.S. for cans. There’s a 50% recycling rate for aluminum beverage cans and a 71% recycling rate for steel food cans. The can industry buys the materials and recycles them into new cans. That’s why the average beverage can has 73% recycled content and the average steel can more than 80%.
