Recycle for Cornwall
The Recycle for Cornwall campaign has been developed to raise public awareness of recycling and to provide consumers with a compelling reason to recycle.
• 3 out of 4 cans produced in the UK are made of steel.
• 2 billion steel cans are recycled every year in the UK. That’s about 7 million a day!
• Steel is made of iron ore, coke (that’s made from coal, not Coca-Cola!), limestone and some scrap steel.
• In Cornwall we throw away 300 million steel cans a year. All of these can be recycled.
• Steel cans are recycled and made into more cans, parts of bridges, paper clips and lots more.
• Steel can be recycled over and over again.
