Recycling Aluminum Saves Energy and Natural Resources

Continental Aluminum is proud to be in the domestic scrap recycling industry. This industry is an integral part of our nation's efforts to conserve its natural resources and make better use of diminishing landfill capacity. Recycling aluminum results in enormous energy savings. It takes 95% less energy to produce an aluminum can from a used one than from virgin ore. It also helps solve the country's landfill problems, which include a shortage of space, health and environmental concerns, and high costs. (The most costly means of disposal is landfilling.) But one of the greatest advantages of recycling is that it lowers the levels of environmental desecration and conserves our natural resources.

Continental Aluminum is committed to being a good corporate neighbor. To that end, we have gone above and beyond what is required by law to protect the community and the environment. We have made a substantial investment in the plant to reduce noise and emissions. It is our pleasure to be involved in our community. Continental Aluminum actively supports the community through local programs such as the Active Faith Community Service Golf fundraiser, the Lyon Township Firefighter's Halloween Party, and the Lyon Township/Oakland County Sheriff's 'Shop With a Hero' Christmas program. We also welcome legitimate questions, comments and complaints, and have established a HOTLINE that is manned 24/7. We promise prompt and personal response.
