Aluminum is widely used for many things, so there is a constant need for it. Recycling used aluminum goods into new aluminum takes only a fraction of the energy needed to smelt new aluminum from bauxite ore. Hence, recycling aluminum is "green" in two ways: It reduces energy use, and it preserved the deposits of aluminum ore (bauxite) still in the ground.
