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).

Aluminum is easier and cheaper to mass produce than is steel. If you recycle aluminum, you get more money for aluminum than for steel only because manufacturers have for decades focused on aluminum as the cheaper way to manufacture so many things. Aluminum is lighter in weight; is more easily bent into desired shapes; can be easily separated from other metals (chemical process); and is easily shipped to manufacturing plants. As one example, in the earlier days, airplanes contained steel and were heavier, cost more in fuel, etc. Now, all airplanes are made of aluminum shells, are lighter in weight, use less fuel because it is lighter in weight, and all of the aluminum can be recycled. Same with automobiles.

Answer for the USA: Yes, you can get 40 cents per pound at a scrap metal yard. That would mean collecting 750 pounds of aluminum to get $300. There are about 30 cans to the pound, so, the can is usually worth more at a recycling center, since 30 cans would be worth only 40 cents as scrap metal, but would be worth $1.50 at a recycling center. If you just recycled the tabs, you would need an enormous number. 1600 tabs weigh about 1 pound, so you would need 1.2 Million Tabs to get 300 Pounds
