How Does Metal Recycling in Houston Save Energy?

With modern industry having such a strong presence in our society, it is easy to forget that metal itself comes from our Earth. Every metal object we own was at one point mined out of the Earth’s crust.

Once mined, we had to extract the metal from the ore, which is usually done through chemical reduction, such as smelting. If this does not work, electrolytic reduction is used. Extracting metal from ore requires a large amount of energy and can be a rather costly process.

Recycling metal requires much less energy than extracting it. Not only are you saving metal ore for future use, but the recycling process itself saves energy! When you recycle a single aluminum can, you help save enough energy to power a television for three hours. We could drastically reduce energy expenditures if Houstonians alone recycled all of their soda cans.
