PRESS RELEASE - Aluminium Beverage Can Recycling Rate Hits 64% in Europe!
The overall recycling rate for aluminium beverage cans in the EU 27 including EFTA countries and Turkey increased by 1.2% to 64.3% in 2009.

The additional amount of cans
recycled results into an extra greenhouse gas saving of 50.000 tons, which is the
equivalent of removing 20.000 passenger cars from the road for a whole year!
