EDIT: dude was talking about plastic recycling, i misunderstood the context
Original comment:
π§’
50% of beer and soda cans are recycled
And,
"Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, and it takes up to 95 percent less energy to recycle it than to produce primary aluminium, which also limits emissions, including greenhouse gases. Today, about 75 percent of all aluminium produced in history, nearly a billion tons, is still in use."
Why post blatantly false, easily invalidated information?
Me, and I'm pretty sure the guy I was replying to, were both talking about plastic recycling, not aluminum recycling, replying to OP statement: I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to itβs limited and finite recycle count.
Sorry, I thought that was clear from the context.
