Question

Options

• AYes
• BNo

• A
  92% (46)
• B
  8% (4)

Explanation

Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials on Earth - it can be melted down and reformed repeatedly without any loss in quality, making A (Yes) correct. The recycling process for aluminum requires only about 5% of the energy needed to produce new aluminum from raw ore (bauxite), making it both economically and environmentally efficient. Option B is wrong because aluminum does not degrade or contaminate during recycling cycles, unlike many other materials.

Memory tip: Think of the aluminum can you toss in the recycling bin - it can be back on a store shelf as a new can in as little as 60 days. "Aluminum = Always recyclable" is a reliable rule for exam purposes.
