CO₂ Emissions from Beer Cans and Beer Bottles
Calculate the CO2 emissions for a 500-ml aluminum beer can and a beer bottle.
Glass bottles are washed and reused, while aluminum cans, when recycled, are melted down and remade into new cans.
| CO2 emissions from aluminum cans | g-CO2 |
| CO2 emissions from the bottle | g-CO2 |
| Difference | g-CO2 |
- Container
- Can: Capacity 500 ml, Weight 19.27 g, Recycling Rate 93.3%
- Bottle: Capacity 500 ml, weight 473.41 g, recovery rate 100%, average number of uses 25.6 times
- The CO2 emissions for each item are based on values published on the Ministry of the Environment’s website (Related Links).
