Wow thanks for that info, I wasn’t aware of aluminum is infinitely recyclable!

yup, thats true for all metals I think. Interestingly, I just learned that metal alloys such as steel are not considered chemical compounds but homogeneous mixtures. Steel is a mixture of steel and carbon kind of like mixing chocolate and milk to form chocolate milk. There is no chemical compound formula for steel.
