Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to;
-run your TV for 3 hours
-keep a 100-watt bulb running for four hours
Tossing away an aluminum can wastes as much energy as pouring out half of that can’s volume of gasoline.
Making new aluminum cans from used cans takes 95 percent less energy and 20 recycled cans can be made with the energy needed to produce one can using virgin ore.

It is the most common element in the earth(I have been told) depends what you want to make with it, pots and Pans? During WW2 there was a big demand for Aluminium but it was not a high enough grade to make aircraft so the scrap drive for ally was just a morale thing

Because it takes a very great amount of electrical energy to produce it in the first place from bauxite (the ore it is made from). Also it is comparatively easy to re-cycle.
Personal experience.
