Secondary–or recycled–aluminum can be infinitely recycled without losing its properties. But, there are some things that cannot be built without primary–or raw–aluminum in order to shape things how they need to be.

"The new study by Industrious Labs, a nonprofit focused on emissions reduction, used the EPA’s COBRA model to find that emissions from the Gary Works plant likely are linked to 57–114 premature deaths, 48 emergency room visits, and almost 32,000 asthma attacks each year."
“I would love to see Gary Works transform to green sustainable steel, bringing more jobs, cleaning up the area, that would be an amazing win-win,” said Libré Booker, a librarian who grew up near the mill. “It’s definitely time for a change.” https://t.co/e0Qcgz4UZQ

Just 17 steelmaking facilities, all in the Midwest, are responsible for $7-13 billion in health damages (including 892 deaths) *every year*. In an age of new industrial policy, we would just require & pay for a clean retrofit. Via @industriouslabs https://t.co/EhbHIIPIti
