Aluminum is a new material having been produced in commercially significant quantities only in the last hundred years. The manufacturing process used today for the production of aluminum uses a large amount of electricity, hence most manufacture is associated with hydro-electric power. Aluminium oxide (alumina) is dissolved in a bath of molten cryolite and a powerful electric current is passed through it, which results in the deposition of molten metal at the bottom of the bath. This wonderful metal has been used in a huge variety of innovative applications since its initial discovery, including electrical wiring, food packaging, the manufacture of aircraft, marine and automotive, rail transport, lighting, tv antennae, satellite dishes, a huge range of construction applications including windows and doors and rainwater goods to name but a few and of course in the furniture industry where it is valued for its lightness durability and resistance to corrosion. Compounds of the metal also find applications in medicine and in a variety of domestic products.

Mankind has been using lead, copper and tin for millennia and yet more aluminium is produced now, than all other metals combined excepting steel. It is a naturally abundant material and this combined with its practically valuable properties explains the emerging popularity of this metal in the modern world. Known reserves of bauxite, the primary ore will last for hundreds of years and aluminum is eminently recyclable at a profit boosting it's established credibility as a "green" metal and a sensible choice for thoughtful consumption of global resources.

Production is currently about 24 million tonnes and secondary - recycled - production adds some 7 million tonnes to create a total of 31 million tonnes. This total compares with 14.1 million tonnes of copper , 6.0 million tonnes of lead and 0.2 million tonnes of tin.
