	Aluminum Association \| Aluminum Beverage Can Recycling Rate Rising
		The aluminum beverage can is the most recycled consumer beverage container in the United States.
		The aluminum beverage can is 100 percent recyclable into new beverage cans indefinitely -- demonstrating recycling at its finest.
		The aluminum can is the only packaging material that more than covers the cost of collection and re-processing for itself. It also helps subsidize the collection of other recyclable materials.

		Steel can designers, recognizing that the beverage canners have adapted their handling systems for the thinner aluminum cans, are reducing the future starting gauges and sidewalls to achieve metal savings without losing all of their strength advantage.
		Aluminum canmaking lines can be converted to production of steel bodies for an equipment investment that varies from $1 million to $3.5 million, depending on the current line configuration.
		It is anticipated that aluminum can costs will be even higher in '96 so as much as 5-10% of beverage canmaking capacity next year will be converted to steel, or in the process of conversion.
