On average, it takes about 5,000 aluminum cans to manufacture one adult-sized bicycle. This estimation is based on the typical weight of aluminum cans and the amount of aluminum needed to construct a bicycle frame. Recycling aluminum cans is a sustainable practice that helps conserve energy and reduce waste in the manufacturing process.
There are approximately 25 empty 12-ounce aluminum cans that make up a pound.
It takes 20 times less energy to make a can from recycled aluminum, so, just counting the energy (ignoring the costs of mining and transport), you could make 320 cans out of recycled aluminum for the same cost as 16 cans from bauxite (aluminum ore).
Approximately 31 empty 12 oz aluminum cans make up 1 lb.
Roughly 3,300 empty (obviously) 12 oz. aluminum cans.
Flattening an aluminum can makes no difference to its weight. However, a bag full of flattened aluminum cans will weigh much more than a bag full of unflattened aluminum cans, simply because you can fit many more cans in the bag.

Well, isn't that a lovely question! It's like a happy little puzzle we get to solve together. On average, about 32 crushed aluminum cans will make a kilogram. Isn't it fascinating how we can find beauty and wonder in the simplest of things, like counting cans?
50 to 60 aluminum cans per kilogram equating to approximtely 50,000 cans per tonne (1000kg) Answer: There are approximately 35 aluminum cans to a pound. As there are 2240 lbs in a ton then there are about 80,000 aluminum cans in a ton. (35 x 2240 = 78400) Aluminium is currently worth £780 per ton. This is equivalent to about 1p per can. (78000p x 78400cans = 0.99p)
It takes less than an hour to turn recycled aluminum cans into great thick rolls of aluminum. It takes many days to mine the bauxite, refine it, transport it, smelt it and turn it into great thick rolls of aluminum. So don't throw away those cans!

Rounded: 30 cans.
About one litre will do them.
