Recycling aluminum means less destruction of an in-place natural area, less waste in a landfill, and this seems extremely valuable to me whatever the exact amount of energy used to do this.
Aluminum is one of the more economical things we can recycle. It is
relatively expensive to produce because it uses a lot of electricity, and yet
it is relatively easy to recycle. Probably makes more sense than recycling
iron, for example.
