Condensa says, aluminum packaging for single-use beverages has the highest recycling efficiency rate in the market, reaching as high as 90% once the material is collected, which, combined with its 79% collection rate, results in 71% of material actually being recycled. Compared with the other materials for single-use beverage packaging: Glass has a 34% recycling rate, while Plastic - PET has a 40% recycling rate, which, compared to 71% for aluminum, is quite a noticeable difference.

These results are mainly due to the lower collection rates of glass and PET, in addition to the lower recycling efficiency of each, which is caused by the fact that these materials must comply with specific characteristics (such as color and the number of times of reuse) to be recycled.

The capacity of aluminum to be recycled is infinite. Condensa concludes that aluminum cans are not only the most recycled beverage container but also it is possible to recycle aluminum endless times for the same or another product.
