why not? I know in the USA the vast majority of aluminum is recycled. I would much rather see drinks in aluminum/glass containers. Personally I like my soda but I always use a tumbler and get fountain drinks. I don't keep it around the house because I know I'd drink too much of it, but an occasional one is nice.

- tialaramex 4y agoYou're thinking of steel, not aluminium. It is possible to build a machine that detects aluminium but it's not just "a magnet" because aluminium isn't magnetic
- cm2187 4y agoActually, I didn't know that, thank you. I always assumed the big magnet over the coveyer belt was for cans but it is for steel indeed. Apparently they use a similar process using eddy current to separate cans.
