A spectacular 50 metre artwork made solely from used aluminium cans has been unveiled on top of the chalk cliffs of the Sussex coastline to mark the beginning of Recycle Week.rnTransforming thousands of used aluminium collected from around Great Britain into the world's largest recycled artwork - dubbed Precious Metal - has taken a team of artists a week to complete and can only be fully viewed from the air. The artwork - inspired by a classic 1949 summer poster from The Coca-Cola Company archives it's designed to inspire consumers to recycle more this summer throughrnreminding them of the inherent value of empty cans and bottles. Recycling aluminium is 20 times more energy-efficient than making it from scratch. At the end of Recycle Week each of the 200,000 cans will be recycled saving enough energy to keep a television running for seventy years.
