Silver? You know my theme called city 'mining'! Brazil reused 127,600 tons of aluminum cans in 2005 — equivalent to 9.4 billion cans during the year or 26 million cans a day.

Brazil again has recycling title in the can

Reuters News Service

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - From Brazil's beaches to city streets and squares, men, women and children fill plastic sacks with empty drink cans.

Last year 96.2 percent of the aluminum beverage cans sold in Latin America's biggest country were recycled, up from 95.7 percent in 2004, making it the world's top voluntary can recycler for the fifth successive year.

"The big challenge now is to maintain this level of recycling. That would be a great achievement," said Renault Castro, executive director of the Brazilian Association of Highly Recyclable Cans.

The association said Brazil reused 127,600 tons of aluminum cans in 2005 — equivalent to 9.4 billion cans during the year or 26 million cans a day.

Brazil beat countries with strict recycling legislation such as Denmark, Norway and Switzerland, and was far ahead of the United States in terms of percentage.

"People are becoming more aware," Castro said.
