Aluminum and tin cans stick around for decades.
Since tin is composed of flimsier metal, it can take up to 50 years to decompose. However, an aluminum can can take up to 200 to 500 years!
Metal recycling reduces air pollution.
By using recycled steel, there is an 86 percent reduction in air pollution and a 76 percent reduction in water pollution.Â
