Very few. Usually aluminum cans are used before being discarded. For example, they are filled with softdrink, then sold, and then discarded. So technically, not many aluminum cans are actually 'wasted' each year because they are 'used' in the first place.
Approximately 75% of aluminum packaging in the UK is recycled, with about 180,000 tonnes of aluminum being recycled each year. This high recycling rate is due to the efficient collection and recycling infrastructure in place in the UK.
