Summary/Abstract: This article examines the role of recycled aluminum in the food industry, focusing on applications in packaging, storage, and processing. Retaining the properties of virgin aluminum - lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and thermally efficient - it is both versatile and sustainable. Recycled aluminum reduces energy use by 95% compared to primary production, lowers carbon emissions, and conserves resources. Economically, it saves costs and supports circular economy principles. The article also explores challenges like contamination and regulatory compliance, highlighting innovations and case studies that demonstrate its importance in sustainable food industry practices
