♻️Global Recycling Day 2026♻️ This year’s theme says it all: “Don’t think waste - think opportunity”. For the UK aluminium industry, that opportunity is HUGE. Aluminium can be recycled infinitely- using 95% less energy than it takes to produce primary aluminium. At #ALFED, we’re proud to champion aluminiums role in creating a sustainable, circular economy, driving innovation and promoting closed-loop recycling across the UK. Let’s change the way we think about waste👉and unlock its true potential!💪 #GlobalRecyclingDay #Sustainability #Recycling #CircularEconomy
