What does ALU 41 mean?
ALU 41 identifies aluminium packaging.
Complete answer
The answer
The code can appear on aluminium packaging such as cans, trays, closures or other components. The material code helps recognition, but local acceptance can still vary by format.
Empty the packaging and separate removable components when the local service asks for it. Beverage cans may also belong to a deposit-return system, in which case the return route normally takes priority over ordinary household recycling.
What to do
- Look for 41 with ALU.
- Check whether the container carries a deposit-return mark.
- Otherwise follow the local aluminium or metal-packaging rule.
