Aluminum's properties make it ideal for recycling. It melts easily, it doesn't lose much to waste when you melt it. You don't even need any fancy chemical processes. You can pretty much just heat it up and immediately cast it in to ingots that are ready for use in industrial processes. Glass can kind of do the same thing, but most other materials need more processing to get a useful outcome.
ok, you got me, sounds good, my fears are assuaged, and it does make me wonder, how come this damn thing gets recycled but other stuff doesn't
