Yes, old aluminum cans can be recycled to make new ones. The recycling process for aluminum is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Aluminum cans are collected, sorted, and then shredded into small pieces. These pieces are melted down in a furnace, and the molten aluminum is poured into molds to create new cans. This process uses only 5% of the energy required to produce aluminum from raw materials, making it a sustainable and cost-effective method of production.
