Ua puni nā kini inu alumini mai ka makahiki 1960, akā naʻe ua hoʻokūkū paʻakikī ʻia mai ka hānau ʻana o nā ʻōmole plastik a me ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka hana ʻana i ka ʻilika. Akā i kēia mau lā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hōʻailona e hoʻololi i nā pahu alumini, ʻaʻole no ka paʻa ʻana i nā mea inu.

He kūlana hoʻomau maikaʻi ko ka pahu alumini i hāʻawi ʻia i ka emi ʻana o kona kapuaʻi kalapona a hiki ke hana hou ʻia ke alumini.

Mai ka makahiki 2005, ua hoʻemi ka ʻoihana aluminika US i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo e 59 pakeneka. Ke nānā pono nei i ka pahu inu alumini, ua hōʻole ka wāwae kalapona ʻAmelika ʻAmelika i ka 41 pakeneka mai ka makahiki 2012. Ua hoʻoneʻe nui ʻia kēia mau hōʻemi ʻana e ka emi ʻana o ka ikaika kalapona o ka hana alumini mua ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, nā kini māmā (27% ʻoi aku ka māmā o kēlā me kēia auneke wai i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 1991 ), a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā hana hana. He mea kōkua nō hoʻi i ka mea inu alumini awelika hiki ke hana ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa he 73 pākēneka recycled maʻiʻo. ʻO ka hana ʻana i ka mea inu alumini e hiki ke hoʻohana wale ʻia mai ka mea i hana hou ʻia e loaʻa i ka 80 pakeneka ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana ma mua o ka hana ʻana i hoʻokahi mai ka alumini mua.
ʻO kona hiki ke hana hou ʻole, i hui pū ʻia me ka hapa nui o nā ʻohana i loaʻa i kahi papahana recycling e ʻae ana i nā ʻeke alumini a pau i hāʻawi ʻia i kona waiwai waiwai kiʻekiʻe, ke kaumaha māmā, a me ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, ʻo ia ke kumu he kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻoiho ʻana i ka pahu alumini a no ke aha he 75 pakeneka o nā alumini a pau. ʻO ka mea i hana ʻia, aia nō i ke kaapuni.

I ka makahiki 2020, ua hana hou ʻia ka 45 pakeneka o nā kini inu alumini ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ia ka unuhi i 46.7 biliona kini, a i ʻole kokoke i 90,000 mau kini i hana hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia minuke. Ma kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe, ua hana hou ʻia he 11 12 mau pahu inu alumini no kēlā me kēia ʻAmelika i ka makahiki 2020.

Ke koi nei ka poʻe kūʻai i ka ʻeke i ʻoi aku ka hoʻomau, e hoʻomaka ana me ka hana ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana recycling o kēia lā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea inu i nā kini inu alumini. ʻO kahi ala e ʻike ai i ka ulu ʻana o nā mea inu ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i nā pahu inu alumini. I ka makahiki 2018, he 69 pakeneka. Ua piʻi i ka 81 pakeneka i 2021.

Eia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona kikoʻī o nā hoʻololi:

Ua kūkākūkā ke Kulanui ʻo SUNY New Paltz i ka makahiki 2020 me kāna mea kūʻai mea inu e hele i kāna mau mīkini kūʻai mai ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā mea inu i loko o nā hue plastik e hāʻawi wale iā lākou i nā kini alumini.
Ke hoʻomaka nei ʻo Danone, Coca-Cola, a me Pepsi e hāʻawi i kekahi o kā lākou mau wai wai i loko o nā kini.
Ua hoʻololi ʻia nā ʻano mea hana hana mai nā ʻōmole i nā kini e like me Lakefront Brewery, Anderson Valley Brewing Company, a me Alley Kat Brewing.

Hiki i ka mea inu alumini ke alo, hiki i ka alumini nā mea hana pepa a me nā mea inu hiki i nā mea hana he lālā CMI i hui pū ʻia i ka hopena o 2021 US alumini inu hiki ke hana hou i nā pahuhopu. Hoʻopili kēia i ka hele ʻana mai kahi 45 pākēneka recycling rate i 2020 a i kahi 70% recycling rate i 2030.

A laila paʻi ʻia ʻo CMI i ka waena waena o 2022 i kāna Aluminum Beverage Can Recycling Primer and Roadmap, e kikoʻī ana pehea e hoʻokō ʻia ai kēia mau pahuhopu. ʻO ka mea nui, ʻike maopopo ʻo CMI ʻaʻole e hoʻokō ʻia kēia mau pahuhopu me ka ʻole o ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana i hana hou ʻia (ʻo ia hoʻi, nā ʻōnaehana hoʻihoʻi waihona ipu inu). ʻIke ʻia ka hoʻohālike ʻana i hōʻike ʻia i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻihoʻi hoʻihoʻi ʻāina i hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia e hiki ke hoʻonui i ka inu alumini US hiki ke hana hou i ka helu 48 pakeneka.

I loko o nā makahiki, nui nā ʻaoʻao ʻekolu i hana i nā noiʻi kūʻokoʻa e hoʻohālikelike ana i ka hopena o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo pili o nā kini aluminika, PET (plastic), a me nā hue aniani. Ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia hihia, ua ʻike kēia mau haʻawina he like ke ʻano o ka hopena kalapona o ke ola o nā kini inu aluminika inā ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o PET (ma ke ʻano o ka auneke), a i kēlā me kēia hihia ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ke aniani.

Eia kekahi, kokoke i kēia mau haʻawina i ʻike ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kini alumini i ka PET (a me ke aniani) ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu.

ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pahu alumini i ka PET no nā mea inu kalapona, akā he haʻahaʻa ko PET ka hopena kalapona no nā mea inu ʻole. No ka mea, ʻaʻole pono nā mea inu ʻona ʻole e like me ka nui o ka plastic e like me nā mea inu carbonated.
