The Native-web retailers have some advantages – mainly their fast movement and dynamic apporach to learn and grow in their site.
The entire vertical is suffering from diminishing in-store sales but eCommerce is booming and few companies managed to create a solid experience.
What's interesting that the strengthening bond and linkage between the in-store and the online – especially in respect to the digital experiences.
Having real world visualization of the online store from one perspective and ability to shop and compare online when inside the store from other perspective – are both strenghtening the connection and making sure the end customer stays within the boundaries of the shop and their site or app .
Personalization is also key – in any channel that the user chooses.
The conversion is in average 3% and all are trying to push this upwards. Through new type of experiences, mediums and means of standing out from the other crowds.
It's going to be a hell of a ride for the online fashion – where the agile and innovative survive and thrive.
Note – few of the facts and the images in this blog post are summarizing the IR research – "Key finding from the 2018 online apparel report".

A national not-for-profit affiliated with York University's Osgoode Hall Law School has found that legal problems cost Canadians billions and also affect their health and wellbeing. The study found that within a three-year period, almost half of Canadian adults experience at least one civil or family justice problem that they consider serious.
Faculty of Science Professor Jianhong Wu and Postdoctoral Fellow Yawen Xu participated in the Research Matters Parliament Hill Pop-Up Research Park, which took place May 18. They presented information on their project, which uses data to build predictive models for informing behaviour changes that can lead improved wellness.
Chronic pollution from many small oil spills may have greater population-level impacts on seabirds than a single large spill, suggest researchers Gail Fraser and Vincent Racine of York University's Faculty of Environmental Studies.

An Idaho ranch's attempt to block U.S. efforts to protect the greater sage grouse has attracted the support of Idaho Governor "Butch" Otter and other top state Republicans.
Otter, House Speaker Scott Bedke, and Senate President Pro Tem Brent Hill asked a federal judge last month for permission to intervene in a lawsuit targeting the federal government's regulation of sage grouse habitat.
The lawsuit was filed in April by Oakley-based brothers Douglas, Don, and David Pickett, who own Tugaw ranch. They are being represented by conservative law firm Pacific Legal Foundation.

27 Female Artists Celebrate Womens' History Month at the Spring 2022 Art Show
James April 4, 2022 3 min read
Meliza Ruby, AKA By MelRub, a Dominican-American Multidisciplinary Artist curating live and moving art pieces, collaborated with 27 other female artists to celebrate Women's History Month for the Spring 2022 Art Show, "OUTLINES & Highlights," launched in partnership with Art Gall Expo and Multitude Entertainment. Ranging from visuals, sculptors, digital creators, muralists, music, and crafters, these powerhouse females showcased their visual work and live interactive pieces in a large open space using booths. Supporting the arts, Meliza's solo exhibit featured her latest collection "Nature Galls & Ruby's Story," nostalgically following her time in NYC in 2009 through walks along Central Park. Diversity was at the core, with artists being chosen by varying types of style, all from South Florida or Latin background.
The event blended pop, rock, NFTS, acrylic, oil-based arts, crafts as jewelry, and accessories as glasses and hats, live-streamed by "Toy Invades" Miami. Sponsors included Ciclon Energy Drink PR & DR and the judges panel consisted of Victoria Unikel (NFT Collection), Valeria Cid, Williams Tinoco, King Chris Fashion, with music by Valeria Cid, Steffy Boom, Danielle and DJ Tee. Photo by Carlos Urbizo.
Meliza Rub says, "We are feminists that breathe art on a daily basis and one of these forms is body art, including Moving Pieces by Mel Rub (exhibition). The Bodypainting Competition awarded first place to Stellar Body Paint, second place to Sabrina la Bruja and Third Place to Icy Dripz. We had Art on Canvas, Wood, Skin and small sculptures and accessories all in one space."
The event was held at The Butcher Shop at 209 6th Street on March 19th 2022 from 7-10pm, an old fashioned butcher shop / beer garden in West Palm Beach, where all of the artists hail from. Celebrity attendees included Dominican-recognized * kilia llano.
More about Meliza Ruby Almonte
Meliza Rub, artistically known as By MelRub, is a mixed media & visual artist who uses acrylics and oils on different canvases, ranging from wood to skin. Meliza was influenced by Marlene Pratt and her interior design work, her mother's portrait drawings, and artists such as Malika Favre, Jackson Pollock, Lynda Benglis, Ian Davenport, Robert Delaunay, and Gerhard Richter. Meliza was born in 1989 in Norwood, New Jersey; however, she lived the majority of her life surrounded by the Caribbean Sea in the colorful, picturesque city of Santiago, Dominican Republic. Her mother was a portrait artist who gave up drawing to raise a family, but from an early age encouraged Meliza to explore her creativity. Her study of Architecture & Design for two years at Pontificia Universidad Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) in Santiago and later Interior and Exterior Design at the Art Institute of Tampa cultivated her use of strong lines in her work. While working under architect and designer Marlene Pratt in New York City, she was inspired to host her first art expo, marking the beginning of Meliza's dream to turn her passion into a career. Meliza is currently residing in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she launched her own business, Art Gall Expo. Her murals can be seen at Dr. Limon, Kanela Lounge, Smothie World, Melaos 360, Alicia's Latin Cuisine and others in WPB. She has been commissioned to create pieces for local events and fundraisers.

Q: Perl pipe open issue with ' in command I am puzzled, simple code fails to return error for PIPE2 open, but does it for similar PIPE3!
 I read perl processes pipe openings differently if there are any meta characters, but I do not know how to write code with correct error check for invalid pipe. How can I check PIPE2 open failed? $? or $! did not pickup error either.
Thanks.
open(PIPE2,"|/bin/echod 'sometxt'")||die "Pipe2 cannot open\n";
print PIPE2 "echoed 2\n";
close PIPE2;

open(PIPE3,"|-","/bin/echod sometxt")||die "Pipe3 cannot open\n";
print PIPE3 "echoed 3\n";
close PIPE3;

From command prompt after execution:
sh: /bin/echod: No such file or directory
Pipe3 cannot open

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

A: When you use the fancy "|-" style, you are not specifying a shell command to run, but rather a list of arguments to be passed to the execvp(2) syscall.
open(PIPE2,"|/bin/echod 'sometxt'")      || die "Pipe2 cannot open: $!";
print PIPE2 "echoed 2\n";
close(PIPE2)                             || die "Pipe2 cannot close: $!";

versus
open(PIPE3,"|-","/bin/echod", "sometxt") || die "Pipe3 cannot open: $!";
print PIPE3 "echoed 3\n";
close(PIPE3)                             || die "Pipe3 cannot close: $!";

The second form is used only when you don't want the shell expanding wildcards, interpreting pipe and redirect symbols, etc. when you pass in variables of unknown content.
The first form is for when you do want that to happen, or when you have constant strings or string of known content in the command. I virtually always use the first form, reserving the second form for tricky situations like
open(GREPPER, "grep $expr @files |")

because it's a thankless and fairly impossible job trying to figure out the right quoting on $expr there.

A: (as discussed in comments)
In case of open function with pipe | (and not |- or -|) the open function failure can be handled at close of file handle.
Here's how I would do it
open(PIPE2,"|/bin/echod 'sometxt'");
print PIPE2 "echoed 2\n";
close(PIPE2) or die "Pipe2 Cannot open $!";

The Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Dubuque join schools across the nation in celebrating National Catholic Schools Week. There are 50 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Dubuque, serving about 11,000 students from early childhood through 12th grade. Our Catholic schools have the privilege and great responsibility of providing over 10 million cumulative hours of embedded Catholic teaching, faith-filled environment, and direct instruction in the Catholic faith to these students each year.
Our Catholic schools share in the evangelizing mission of our Church by bringing the gospel to students and families on a daily basis. As partners with parents, our Catholic schools offer daily religious instruction and modeling of the faith, rigorous academic studies, and a distinct focus on the whole child. Our students and staff provide countless hours of service to their local church and communities. In a world filled with challenges and mixed messages, our schools provide the counter-cultural teaching of Jesus Christ as the center of everything we do all day long.
We are blessed to have so many strong and vibrant Catholic schools. In our Catholic schools, students receive the best of tradition and innovation. The elements of Message, Community, Worship, and Service set our Catholic schools apart from other educational options.

Ursula K Le Guin's The Telling to be adapted for the big screen
The late Ursula K Le Guin's The Telling is being turned into a film
Ursula K Le Guin's acclaimed sci-fi novel The Telling is being turned into a film for the big screen. According to THR, the late author had started working with producers on the project shortly before she passed away in January.
Leena Pendharkar (20 Weeks, Raspberry Magic) is writing and directing, and Rekha Sharma (Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Discovery) is set to star.
"I'm honoured to bring the work of one of science fiction's most esteemed writers to the screen especially in these times when strong female voices are needed," said Pendharkar. "The Telling is a humanistic science fiction film about a woman trying to find her way in a culture overrun by technology."
The film is being produced by Bayview Film founder Rizwan Virk (Knights Of Badassdon), who said: "I've been a fan of Ursula K. Le Guin's science fiction and fantasy for many years. Our team had been working on the script for The Telling with her over the past few years, and we were extremely saddened to hear of her recent passing.
"The Telling brings together a very personal story of self-exploration while exploring much broader themes related to science, alien civilisations, religious freedom and technological progress."
Read the Amazon summary for The Telling below:
There have been eighty requests to send an Observer into the hinterlands of the planet Aka to study the natives. Much to everyone's surprise, the eighty-first request is granted, and Observer Sutty is sent upriver to Okzat-Ozkat, a small city in the foothills of Rangma, to talk to the remnants in hiding of a cult practising a banned religion. On Aka, everything that was written in the old scripts has been destroyed; modern aural literature is all written to Corporation specifications. The Corporation expects Sutty to report back so the non-standardised folk stories and songs can be wiped out and the people 're-educated'. But Sutty herself is in for an education she never imagined.
The Telling doesn't yet have a release date. Get all the latest sci-fi news with every issue of SciFiNow.

Perhaps the biggest change in the way we engage with media is the ability to stream video content, shifting away from the traditional television. Keeping up with the change in the medium, commercial ad breaks have become increasingly shorter- with ads decreasing from segments of 30 seconds to only 18 or sometimes even shorter.
It's clear that viewers are less interested with watching commercials than ever. How then will marketers continue to reap the benefits of one of the most expensive outlets of advertising? In this blog post, Hollywood Branded examines the changing landscape of television advertising, focusing on the new direction Hulu announced, as the streaming service will be reducing traditional ad breaks in favor of branded content.
Why Is Organic Product Placement Better?
Our team loves data, research and stats - and when we can't find answers to questions our clients and potential clients ask, we'll take it to the next level and run a survey ourselves. One of the questions we are asked the most about is what case studies we have - literal proof is in the pudding that product placement works.
And one of the survey factoids that has continuously been brought to light is that the majority of consumers far prefer branded content to more traditional forms of advertising. That's not to say that all ads are not good advertising tools - but ads that haven't been crafted to be stories to themselves aren't typically as well received as product placement organically embedded into the content that viewers enjoy. Basically, people aren't that interested in being clunked over the head by brands trying to shout their messaging from the roof tops. Imagine that. In our blog, Hollywood Branded shares our infographic on organic product placement, stats from our product placement survey, and provides detail to the types of product placement available for brand partnerships.
For a long time, common questions you'd hear people ask in passing conversation have typically included TV, music and movies. And now a new conversation starter has firmly placed itself in the ring: what podcasts do you listen to? Since the NPR podcast, Serial, took the world by storm in 2014, podcasts have become one of the most popular forms of entertainment and news media.
As the market for podcasts has expanded, so has the ability for advertisers and podcasters to collaborate and effectively support each other. In this blog, Hollywood Branded examines 4 ways brands use podcast advertising to drive sales, and discusses the benefits of marketing through the medium of podcasts.
When viewers watch movies, they often think that what they see on screen was what the writers originally wrote. But in the case of product placement, that isn't quite what happens. In fact, a brand can often have an active role at the table discussing how to better portray and position their brand within content.
Which is were our agency, and others like ours, comes in as we are experts at leading those conversations to ensure that the production doesn't lose their creativity and absolute sheer genius of what they have written, and that the brand isn't lost along the way, as the partnership is crafted. In this blog post, Hollywood Branded shares a product placement case study and behind the scenes look into how one such partnership was create; and how Bumble made its way onto Candace Bergen's iPad, and subsequently into the hearts of millions of women watching in theaters.
It seems these days almost everyone and their mother has their very own podcast. In the endless sea of the varying podcast channels available today it can be confusing and a lot of times super difficult to decide which ones are actually worth dedicating a listen to. There is hope however for the newly introduced podcast listener. Fortunately there is an absolute bevy of engaging and captivating podcast shows that feature some of today's biggest Hollywood stars both as hosts and interviewees.
The popularity of podcasts in the last couple of years has absolutely skyrocketed and the involvement of some of today's biggest names has without a doubt played a part in its rise. And one of the interesting opportunities for brands is that this is a whole new platform to be able to get involved in. In this blog, Hollywood Branded shares some of today's most popular podcasts, and discusses why brands should explore the opportunity for branded content integration into podcasts.

Universal healer
Editor: Sam Rosen, the Scranton area's last known Holocaust survivor, was a man for all seasons and a man for all humankind.
While he was deeply involved in his own Jewish religious life, he was an "everyman" — an example of how we can be particular and universal.
Sam's capacity to remember the wholesale destruction of his family and rise above it to give hope and courage to several generations of people in our region is surely in the spirit of Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. Some are permanently maimed by memories like Sam's. He teaches us that it is possible to use an example of savagery to remind others that there is another way to live.
Sam loved his adopted country — not only because he was able to thrive here on a personal level, but as important to him, because he could share his story with others, particularly young people, to empower them to use their cherished freedom to make the world a more just place.
Sam didn't win the Nobel Prize and his work was not known on the global screen. But in turning his memories, his nightmares, into dreams of justice, he gave thousands of people in our area the power to act on behalf of all people.
Let us keep Sam in our memories and learn from him the ability to overcome loss and grief by using it to become an agent for change.

New book by Downers Grove resident offers look at area's natural gems
By Joseph Ruzich

Scattered throughout the concrete jungle of the Chicago region are numerous wilderness sites, including prairies, wetlands, woodlands and even a natural canyon.
Many people who live and work near these special natural areas, however, don't even know these places are there.
Downers Grove resident Mike MacDonald, 55, hopes to inspire people to visit local forest preserves after recently publishing his book, "My Journey into the Wilds of Chicago: A Celebration of Chicagoland's Startling Natural Wonders."
His book includes over 200 local natural habitat and wildlife photographs along with text and poems that often correlate to the images. MacDonald will also speak about the area's natural wonders at a book-signing event at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 6 at Frugal Muse Books in Darien. It is his first book, said MacDonald, who lives with his wife, Cordula, and teaches photography and sells prints.
"The Chicago region is not just a huge urban area," MacDonald said. "There are a lot of natural beautiful places here that people can explore. I hope my book will encourage them to do that."
He said there are over 350 square miles of nature preserves within an hour's drive of downtown Chicago.
MacDonald also believes the Chicago region's natural areas rival some of the most beautiful places in the western part of the country.
"People like to go out west because there are mountains and big rocks and things," he said. "Chicago is pretty much flat, that is true, but we have a lot of plant biodiversity here. The prairie, in the summer, can have different flowers blooming in it every day."
One of MacDonald's favorite plants is the purple spiderwort flower, which blooms for only a few hours before melting into a gem of jelly. The photograph in the book shows one of his fingers turning purple from touching the jelly-like substance.
He also enjoys observing a seed from the porcupine grass that spins as it drills itself into the soil. Some prairie plants also have unappealing smells, emitting odors similar to skunk and even vomit, he said. And who needs Arizona when Chicago has its own cactus, the eastern prickly pear, which at times displays a beautiful yellow flower at the top of the plant, he said.
MacDonald also included a photograph of Cook County's only canyon, Sagawau Canyon near Lemont, which has fern-lined walls and a swift curving stream. MacDonald wrote in the book that visitor center staff nicknamed it "The Grand Canyon of Cook County."
Television producer and journalist Bill Kurtis and naturalist Stephen Packard wrote separate foreword sections in the book.
"The prairie has long been disregarded and misunderstood," Kurtis wrote. "Yet, like wildfires that blaze across the grassland and bring it new life, a new understanding of the prairie is smoldering: we're beginning to wake up to its value and its beauty."
Packard said that Mike's book is an artist's attempt to make an emotional connection with readers. "As you turn the pages, I hope you will be inspired to step into the wilds and begin an optimistic, life-changing journey of your own," Packard wrote. "Falling in love with woods and prairie has changed lives for the better."

Paul Garrison, owner of Frugal Muse Books, is confident that people will enjoy the talk and book- signing event.
"He (MacDonald) is very passionate about the book," Garrison said. "It has been a labor of love for him."
Those interested in attending the presentation and book signing at Frugal Muse Books, 7511 Lemont Road, No. 146, are encouraged to RSVP at 630-427-1140. The store will be selling the book at a discounted rate of $60[cq]. The book can also be purchased for $75 by visiting MacDonald's website at chicagonature.com.

Somehow the Foo Fighters have become my favorite band. I mean, I've always liked them, but never enough to buy their albums. A couple of years ago I finally picked up their greatest hits album, which I liked well enough.
A little while back, David Grohl formed Them Crooked Vultures with another of my faves, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, (and don't forget John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin). I really liked this band. It was kind of like QOTSA, but a little different. The next thing you know, the Foo Fighters released another album. One of the songs I kept hearing on the radio was reminiscent of Them Crooked Vultures, so I was into it. Then I heard another, and another, and I liked them all. So, I picked up the album and have been listening to it nonstop ever since.
The funny thing is whenever I hear old Foo Fighters songs on the radio, I like them even more than I did before. So, I'll be purchasing all of those albums, too. I suppose this is a good thing because it's slim pickings these days for good rock music.
I only regret that we didn't go see them in Pittsburgh last month. But, surely that won't be our last opportunity to see the band.

Visit With Seahawks Makes For a "Most Important Day" For Make-A-Wish Families
For the third time this season, the Seahawks hosted kids who were granted wishes by Make-A-Wish.
Seahawks.com Reporter
After Pete Carroll signed a football for 7-year-old Carsten Maes following Friday's practice, the Seahawks coach handed Maes another ball, one the team used during practice, and told him that was his as well.
Maes lit up and turned to his parents and held the ball up triumphantly, shouting, "I can have this!"
For the third time this season, the Seahawks hosted kids who were granted wishes by Make-A-Wish, and for Maes, who is fighting Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Madeline Self, a 16-year-old who was born with Infantile Cerebral Palsy, Friday's visit was a dream come true. Those two, along with 16-year-old Michael De Los Santos, who is fighting Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, will be guests at Sunday's game along with their families. As an added bonus, Self and Maes got to meet Seahawks legends Steve Largent and Jim Zorn, who were on hand for Friday's practice.
Thanks 4 visiting @ProFootballHOF Steve Largent & @JimZorn10 today Carsten & Maddie. #SeahawksWish 👻 @MakeAWishAKWA pic.twitter.com/2SqkzxpU8f
— Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) November 21, 2015
"Oh my gosh, she's so excited, she can hardly talk," said Hollie Self, Madeline's mom. "Every player she met, she was like, 'Oh my gosh, I can't believe I met so and so.' This is the day of her life, it's the most important day in her life. She is a major Seahawks fan. Meeting the team, what a great thing for her."
After practice, Maes, Self and their families got the usual handshakes, hugs and autographs from players, plus a little humor from defensive end Michael Bennett, who loudly announced his presence saying, "Hello Kids! It's Black Santa!" Bennett also asked Maes how old he was, saying, "You got a job yet? You pay taxes?"
Maes, who was in town from Anchorage with his parents and six siblings, also enjoyed a quick game of football on the Seahawks' practice field with father, Randall, and his siblings.
"I know that when we do have kids come in, it's a good thing for the kids and the family and all that, but it's also a really good thing for our players too, to share where they are in life right now," Carroll said. "They see the looks in the kids' eyes and they feel that exchange. There's a lot of good stuff happening in both directions. It's always good. We welcome a lot of people and friends to come in so we can share that with them."
Make-A-Wish Kids Carsten and Maddie visit Seahawks
Two kids from Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington made meeting the Seattle Seahawks their wish. Today those wishes were granted for Carsten and Maddie.

Anadolu Efes Istanbul came from behind and then held off a late Unics Kazan charge to register a 104-99 victory on Tuesday at Abdi Ipekci Arena. The win boosted Efes's record to 3-4, while dropping Unics to 2-5. Thomas Heurtel starred with 24 points and 8 assists as Efes smashed its club record for assists with 34, which was 7 more than Efes's previous best and 2 short of the EuroLeague mark held by Real Madrid. Jayson Granger also dished 8 assists and Derrick Brown 6 to help the club in that category. The team also made 23 of 24 free throws (95.8%), which marked the best free-throw shooting night in club history in games in which it attempted at least 10 foul shots. DeShaun Thomas scored 13 of his 20 points in the first half to keep Efes in the game early, as did Cedi Osman, who scored 13 in the first quarter and finished the game with 16 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting. Bryant Dunston added 13 points and 9 rebounds and Tyler Honeycutt contributed 12 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. League-leading scorer Keith Langford led Unics with 25 points and tied a career-high with 9 assists, while Art Parakhouski posted 20 points and 10 rebounds, Quino Colom tallied 11 points and 8 assists and Orlando Johnson scored 10 in defeat.
Parakhouski was a menace to Efes inside with 8 points in the first six minutes to stoke the visitors to a 12-17 lead. The red-hot Osman buried his third triple of the quarter to put Efes ahead, but a Colom jumper left Unics ahead 24-26 after 10 minutes. Keith Langford and Colom took control in the second quarter and a Pavel Antipov three-pointer made it 38-47. Thomas stepped up with 6 straight points for the hosts and tied the game at 49-49 with a 4-point play. Colom beat the buzzer with a rebound in traffic and turnaround jumper to give Unics a 49-54 edge at the break. Honeycutt stepped up on both ends and his dunk following a Langford turnover pushed Efes in front 64-63. Heurtel took control and Efes got the attack rolling to take an 81-74 lead through three quarters. The Efes attack continued rolling with crisp passes in the halfcourt and good looks in transition to remain comfortable ahead. A triple by Osman – his first points since the first quarter – gave the home side its first double-digit lead, 95-83, with five minutes to go. Langford and Parakhouski rallied Unics to within 4 in the final minute, but free throws by Honeycutt and Heurtel iced the Efes win.
"It was a very difficult game because we played against a team who after winning their last two games played with great confidence, very good basketball, long possessions and they created advantages very easily, so we had great defensive problems. I think we start maybe a little afraid because for us it is a very important game. They scored too easily. That was the problem in the first two quarters. In the third quarter especially, and in the last also, we had different energy. They still scored, but not easy like in the first two quarters and we played a great offensive game. We had more than 30 assists which is not usual when you beat a good team. We scored also 104 points. We make many, many good things also during the game."
"The game was tough. Let's say Efes was better than we were today. And we didn't show up on defense. And even the first two quarters, when we lead 54-49, we let them score 49 points in 20 minutes. It is very difficult to win on the road when the team plays without any defense. Especially in the third and fourth quarters, we continued to give so much distance to the shooters and a lot of drives to Heurtel, who we could not stop. That is why we lost today. Also we started to play too individually and we lost the offensive rebounds. I agree they played good and made 34 assists, but opponents play only as good as you let them. We were always late and misunderstanding on their switches. The last five minutes they don't make any assists, as soon as we raise the defense, the assists stop. But all game we played soft defense, so it's our fault. "
"I think we played a pretty solid game. In the second half we adjusted offensively and defensively. Of course at home we can't play to score 100 points, cause that's not our game. So we have to adjust for the next couple of games. "
"I think we showed our character in the third quarter and played as a team. We didn't play really good defense tonight, but we won and I think that is the most important thing. My teammates gave me the ball and their confidence, also my coach, and I made some baskets. Again, we won the game and that is most important."

Aluminum is one of the most recycled—and recyclable—materials in use today. A recycled aluminum beverage can, car door or window frame is often recycled directly back into itself. And this process can happen virtually infinitely.
Circular Economy Solution
High value and infinitely recyclable aluminum is a material tailor-made for a more circular and sustainable economy.
Recycling is a critical part of the modern aluminum business. Making recycled aluminum only takes around 5% of the energy needed to make new aluminum — reducing carbon emissions and saving money for businesses and end consumers.
As a result, nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
In most industrial markets like automotive and building, recycling rates for aluminum exceed 90%.
Industry recycling efforts in the U.S. save more than 90 million barrels of oil equivalent each year.
Recycling aluminum is good for the environment—and the economy. The U.S. recycles more aluminum today than ever before. And we're just getting started.
Recycled aluminum saves 95% of the energy needed to make new aluminum.
$800M+
We could save over $800 million for the U.S economy each year by recycling all of our aluminum beverage cans.
Recycled aluminum makes up 80% of U.S. aluminum production.
Recycling More Aluminum Than Ever
The U.S. collects more than twice the amount of aluminum today for recycling than it did in the 1980s. And while recycling rates in most industrial markets exceed 90%, we can do more — particularly when it comes to aluminum beverage cans.
While aluminum cans are recycled at far higher rates than glass or plastic, these rates have fallen below 50% in recent years. That means more than $800 million worth of aluminum ends up in a landfill — a tremendous loss to the economy and the environment. Learn more about how the Aluminum Association is leading the way to increase aluminum recycling nationwide.
A Growing Secondary Production Market
Aluminum production in the U.S. is increasingly a story of scrap recovery and recycling. While primary aluminum production remains a vital part of the American aluminum supply chain, more than 80% of U.S. production today is in making recycled (or secondary) aluminum. This compares to 20% to 30% recycled production in the 1980s. All told, the U.S. produces more recycled aluminum than any single country other than China.
Increasing aluminum recycling translates to less energy used and a lower carbon impact. In the aluminum beverage can market, for example, each percentage increase in the end-of-life recycling rate reduces the carbon intensity of aluminum beverage can production by 1.02 kg CO2 equivalent per 1,000 cans. Increased recovery and recycling of aluminum is essential to continued industrywide decarbonization.
The Aluminum Can Advantage
Aluminum beverage cans are the most sustainable beverage package on virtually every measure. Cans have a higher recycling rate and more recycled content than competing package types. They are lightweight, stackable and strong, allowing brands to package and transport more beverages using less material. And aluminum cans are far more valuable than glass or plastic, helping make municipal recycling programs financially viable and effectively subsidizing the recycling of less valuable materials in the bin.
Most of all, aluminum cans are recycled over and over again in a true "closed loop" recycling process. Glass and plastic are typically "down-cycled" into products like carpet fiber or landfill liner.
