Frequently Asked Questions about Aluminum Recycling
How does Aluminum Recycling work?
Aluminum recycling involves several stages, starting with the collection of aluminum products such as cans, foil, and other items. These are then cleaned and sorted to remove any impurities or non-aluminum materials. The sorted aluminum is then melted in a furnace and cast into large blocks known as ingots. These ingots are later rolled into sheets or extruded into various shapes, which can be used to manufacture new products. This process saves energy and reduces the need for raw materials as recycled aluminum requires only 5% of the energy used to create new aluminum from bauxite ore.
