Did you know that aluminum cans can be recycled endlessly? In New Zealand, recycling aluminum is a key part of creating a circular economy, reducing waste and saving precious resources.

From bauxite ore to your favorite beverage can, aluminum goes on a journey. It starts with mining bauxite, refining it into alumina, and then smelting it to produce pure aluminum. This aluminum is then rolled into sheets and shaped into cans, ready to be filled and shipped to stores. Once you've enjoyed your drink, the real magic begins: recycling!
