Re:create Brooklyn Re:Creation New York is a registered nonprofit dedicated to climate education and action by changing the way New Yorkers collect + recycle plastic waste.

We partner with NYC and State Parks on small-plastic diversion through collaborative cleanups. We live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. My husband, nine-year-old son, seventeen-year-old-daughter and I love New York City. We love books and libraries and reading and a visual art and science. We enjoy getting together with our friends, their kids and their families to do great things for the environment.

What WILL Get Recycled Part 1 - ALUMINUM

I made sure that all of the information I shared in this video was backed up by current, peer reviewed scientific industry publications.
Here are links to the sources I used to make video:

“Aluminum can be recycled over and over without loosing quality”

“Recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy”

“75% of aluminum ever produced is still in use”
