That's right; #EveryCanCounts was first launched back in 2009, meaning that this year we're celebrating 15 years of can recycling fun around the world! 🎉🎈 Thank you to everyone who entered our giveaway and a huge congratulations to our winner, Eileen Gibbons! 🥳

Take a trip down memory lane to see how #EveryCanCounts has evolved since we launched in Ireland in 2012! ⏳   We've definitely changed in appearance over the years, but one thing stays the same: our mission to inspire and encourage you to recycle your empty drink cans! ♻️💚

You’ll be amazed by how simple the recycling process is for drink cans! ♻️ You’re currently looking at the re-melting part of the process, but if you'd like to see what happens to your drink cans after you take them to a return point, visit our website: everycancounts.eu/ie/can-recycli…

Watch as the molten aluminium rushes through the can recycling plant to be cast into giant blocks, known as ingots. These ingots are then rolled into thin sheets and manufactured into brand new drink cans, ready to be filled and put back on a shop shelf. ♻️ #MetalRecyclesForever

There’s no rocket science here – just re-melting! 🔥 Did you know that it takes just 60 days for an empty can to go through the recycling process and be back on sale as a brand new drink can? ♻️ 🔗Learn more: everycancounts.eu/ie/can-recycli…

✨ For those who dare to dream big ✨ #EveryCanCounts is celebrating its 15th anniversary! 🥳 🔗Learn more about the journey we've been on since launching in 2009: everycancounts.eu/15-years-anniv…

Every 👏 Can 👏 Counts 👏 Even the ones on our Canny Mascot! We’re here to bring you the #MagicOfRecycling! Remember, #MetalRecyclesForever, so when you recycle your empty cans you’re not just saving energy and resources - you’re joining us on a never-ending journey! ♻️

Don't break the cycle! ♻ Drink cans are easily separated from other recyclable materials using electrical currents known as eddy currents. From here they continue their recycling journey where they could be back on the shop shelf as a brand new can in as little as 60 days!

✨This is where the magic happens! ✨ Once drink cans are separated and baled up, they're heated to remove any non-aluminium components before being transformed into molten aluminium at temperatures of around 750 degrees Celsius. 🔥

Ingot we trust! 🙌 Once your empty drink cans have been separated, baled and melted, they're then shaped into huge aluminium blocks called ingots. Each ingot contains over 1.5 million drink cans and will be sent off to be manufactured into brand new drink cans! 🔥♻️

Cans crush it! 💪 All shapes, all colours, all easily recyclable and back on the shop shelf in as little as 60 days! 🥳 Help us to #KeepTheCycleGoing by ensuring that all your empty cans are taken to a return point for recycling. ♻

Thank you to everyone who recycled their empty drink cans at Electric Picnic this year! ♻️   We teamed up with Re-turn to raise money for their initiative #ReturnForChildren and we raised over €1200 from the donated deposits on the empty cans we collected at the festival. 💚

Recycling aluminium uses 95% LESS energy than creating new aluminium from raw materials. So by taking one aluminium can back to a return point, you are doing something positive for the planet and helping us achieve our vision of a 100% recycling rate for drink cans in Ireland!♻️
