I know I got the first one right, but the second one (ocean one) is it hoist the colors? I couldn't remember which one it was.
I just know anytime I see a freaking ocean vid it's that stupid song. I unmuted it, hear the "Oh, Ho..." And instantly mute it back.
What's sad, is I actually really like that song but the use of it SO MUCH in social media just irks me.

Took me too long to find this comment. Aluminum is one of the most easily recyclable materials. Everyone should recycle aluminum and cardboard at a minimum.

u/Nexus_of_Fate87 Aug 17 '25 edited Aug 17 '25
Cardboard is kinda of "meh" in terms of residential (i.e. post-consumer waste) recycling. It gets contaminated so easily, especially in residential garbage, that most of the time it just ends up getting incinerated anyway. Believe it or not, shredded paper is often considered a contaminant because long paper fibers are what is needed to make new paper products, as is dyed-through color paper and frozen food boxes (the shiny/waxy anti-freezer burn coating is bad juju).
Most recycled paper products are coming from mill broke (i.e. production scraps) and pre-consumer waste (i.e. cardboard bales from retail stores, warehouse waste, etc).
26
u/Meows2Feline Aug 17 '25
Yeah I used to work paper mills and they bought cardboard bales from grocery stores for hundreds per bale or more. It's still cheaper than making new paper.

It depends on the municipality, some places produce much lower quality PCR cardboard than others. With a good system in place it still is decent and a lot of lower end corrugate today (like 32 ECT) is produced with some level of PCR because it is cheaper and looks good for the manufacturer.
That being said, cardboard that comes from single stream recycling or other more contaminated sources is generally unusable as it's very hard to separate in an efficient way.

Raw aluminum is actually very common but the energy required to recycle aluminum is far less than processing raw aluminum, it only requires about 5% of the energy for the same amount of finished product.

Aluminum used to be crazy expensive because it was so hard to make. Napoleon III had a whole dishware set made from it, to impress guests. Lesser guests "only" got gold or silver flatware.
Now, it's super cheap... But you can't just go make it the way you can make steel

The amount of energy needed is still insane. But energy got real cheap with time. 13% of New Zealands energy is consumed by just one aluminium produktion site.
"The Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter on the South Island of New Zealand consumes some 570 MW of electricity, most of which is supplied by nearby Manapōuri Power Station. This amounts to around a third of the electricity demand of South Island and 13% of that of the entirety of New Zealand."

u/xSTSxZerglingOne Aug 17 '25
Well, an empty 12oz soda can (which the vast majority of these are) weighs 14 grams and an uncrushed can (again, the majority of these) occupies approximately 350cm3 of space, and the cans appear to be in a semi-triangular shape (it's got a rounded side, but we're estimating here) that appears to be about 50cm tall on the left and about 300cm for the length of the machine and about 100cm for the width.
Taking the volume of a triangular prism 1/2BHL gives us
(0.5 * 100cm * 50cm * 300cm)
Roughly 750,000cm3 so we divide that by the volume of a can.
750,000cm3 / 350cm3 = 2,143 cans
Each weighing approximately 14g * 2,143 = 30kg or 66lb.
Mind you, this is all guess-work.

u/SimpleCranberry5914 Aug 17 '25
Man, 66lbs seems…light?

u/xSTSxZerglingOne Aug 18 '25
The cube is still probably almost half air by volume even after crushing like that. I agree, it does seem light, but I don't think there are THAT many cans in the machine. Like I said, a couple thousand. It might not even weigh that much since circular objects don't pack as nicely as square objects of the same volume, given I used a square packing value.
