Aluminum

Recyclable aluminum refers to aluminum that can be recovered, processed and reused to make new products, instead of being discarded as garbage. This recycling process is highly efficient and has several environmental and economic benefits.

Recycling aluminum conserves resources and energy, requiring only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum. Additionally, it minimizes bauxite extraction and reduces the environmental footprint associated with mining and manufacturing.

The aluminum recycling process includes collection, separation of impurities and smelting. It begins with the collection of aluminum waste, which is then cleaned and melted into ingots. The recycled ingots are used to produce new aluminum products.

Numerous items can be manufactured from recycled aluminum, including new beverage cans, automotive components, bicycles, electronic parts, kitchen utensils and construction elements, evidencing its versatility and contribution to the circular economy.
