Invention

The aluminum can was invented in the 1950s as a easily recyclable package to reduce litter that was filling up highways, and its recycling rate has steadily increased over time. In the United States, almost 90,000 aluminum beverage cans are recycled every minute, and 93 percent of those recycled cans are turned into new cans, making them a standout example of the national circular economy.
