3.What is happening with the recycled capsules? Are they ending up in new capsules?

Aluminum that is recycled, (including our capsules), is collectively reprocessed and endlessly reformed. Most of the capsules that are recycled are returned into the general aluminum stream, to become new aluminum products, from cans to car or airplane parts. Some of the capsules that are returned to us by consumers in countries close to Germany (France, Be-Ne-Lux and Switzerland) are re-melted and reformed to become new capsules. We focus on countries which are close to Germany as most of the aluminum re-smelters are located there, and it doesn’t make sense environmentally to bring back capsules from countries further away.
