Did you know that recycling aluminum saves approximately 95% of the energy and CO2 emissions compared to mining and producing new, primary aluminum? Because aluminum is infinitely recyclable without losing its quality, it is a cornerstone material for a sustainable future. At Toyota Tsusho America, we aren’t just participating in the circular economy; we are actively building it. Through our strategic joint venture and subsidiaries—Altech Recycling, Missouri Smelting Technology, and Kentucky Smelting Technology—we have created a robust, end-to-end aluminum value chain right here in the U.S. Together, these facilities recycled well over half a billion pounds of material in fiscal year 2025 alone! #sustainability #earthday #earthmonth #aluminum #recycling
