S2. E4. Aluminium is the most recycled material in the world from drink cans to space craft – we discuss the current state of aluminium recycling

First used as a packaging material by Toblerone a century ago aluminium  is the most recycled material in the world. 75% of all aluminium ever made is still in use today, but there’s still a lot more to do to recycle all of this wonderful material. In this episode we learn how far we have come and what the future might look like. Rick Hindley from Alupro talks to Wasted about the barriers and opportunities for aluminium recycling and what we might expect from Extended Producer Responsibility and a Deposit Return Scheme. www.alupro.org.uk  www.recyclealuminium.org.uk
