What else do we collect?
Metals are a well established recyclable material, and have a life beyond their original use.
Keep the foil out of landfill
Metals, and especially foils, are a valuable resource and are easily recycled. In fact, many resources like aluminium foil can be melted and used in producing new aluminium foil.
Every 100kg of metal we keep out of landfill not only saves 1.3m3 of landfill space, but also keeps nearly 90kg of Co2 reentering the atmosphere.
What do we do with what we collect?
We compact foil into 50-60kg bails, ready for processing at local metal recyclers, who then process the materials ready for distribution to companies who can use that for new product development.
