SPONSORS
Alcoa and the aluminum industry have a goal to increase can recycling rates in America to 75% by 2015. To hit this goal, Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation have distributed more than 75,000 recycling bins, launched our Make an Impact calculator to help families live more sustainably, created the Aluminate™ recycling app and, in the last five years, invested nearly $3.5 million in community recycling programs across the country. If every American recycled just one more can per week, we would reach our goal. Join us in this important effort, download the app, and recycle. Together, we CAN make a difference.
