Plastic Recycling. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering waste or scrap plastic and reprocessing these materials into other functional and useful products. Because almost all plastic is non-biodegradable, it is crucial that it is recycled as part of the global efforts to reducing plastic and other solid waste in the environment.

· Novelis Inc., the Atlanta-based aluminum rolling and recycling company, has reported net income attributable to its common shareholder of $176 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 and net income from continuing operations of $180 million, up 179 percent and 186 percent, respectively, versus the prior year.
· Global recycling rates of aluminum cans reached around 70%, with regional recycling rates differing between 30 and well-above 90% (IAI, 2009 US EPA, 2016). For other types of food and beverage packaging, aluminum recycling is practically non-existent due to collection difficulties and technical limitations (Marsh and Bugusu, 2007). Recycling
Aluminum Composite Materialwidely referred to as ACMis a rigid sheet made of two sheets of pre-finished aluminum, bonded to a polyethylene core. Light in weight, yet highly durable, ACM sheets are often used for outdoor and indoor signage and channel letter backings, as
In 1993, Americans recycled 59.5 billion aluminum cans, 3 billion more than in 1991, and raised the national aluminum can recycling rate to 2 out of every 3 cans. Aluminum can recycling saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore. Energy savings in 1993 alone were enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years.
