Is It True Australia Recycles Zero Aluminium? :Recycle - Don't Be A Waster!
In this episode we talk about a surprising fact.
In 2025 - Australia recycles virtually zero aluminium scrap.
Following the closure of the domestic car industry over the last 20 years - our ability to melt down scrap aluminium has ended.
It seems all our scrap aluminium is shipped offshore to be recycled. This hurts our environment and our economy.
