The unique properties...
Aluminum provide opportunities that conserve energy and resources, and thereby reduces an aluminum product’s environmental impacts over its life cycle. Aluminum’s high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, thermal and electrical conductivity, barrier properties, and its economical recyclability make it a good environmental choice for a wide range of products and uses. ARCO Aluminum is a recognized leader in the use of recycled aluminum in the production of aluminum beverage cans and other products. Through active support and encouragement of recycling efforts, ARCO Aluminum is making a positive impact on the environment by reducing energy usage and by helping to conserve our earth’s natural resources.
