What is Aluminium?

Aluminium recycling is the process where scrap aluminium is reused in products after the original production of the aluminium. Scrap comes from used metal products including beverage cans, packaging and household goods, and aluminium scraps come from industrial processes as people fabricate and machine new products. The recycled aluminium melts down. It is purified and alloyed. Then it is cast into ingots or billets. The new material retains most of its original properties still. It uses up to 95% less energy than ore and has much lower greenhouse emissions. Aluminium does not degrade during recycling and is an important material in circular economy systems.

Market Trends and Drivers:

The global aluminium recycling industry currently expands with rapidity because sustainability and energy efficiency policies drive it, and the market for low carbon materials helps in meeting global emissions reduction targets, as recycled aluminium has a much lower carbon footprint than primary aluminium. Governments more strictly regulate the environment, ban landfills with mandated recycling, all leading to higher collection and recycling rates. Recycled aluminium sees increasing demand throughout the automotive, construction, packaging and renewable energy industries because automotive manufacturers use recycled aluminium to lighten cars and increase fuel efficiency to reduce emissions. For construction, recycled aluminium endures, resists corrosion, and sustains which makes it a suitable material. In beverage packaging, high recycling rates and brand pledges are driving a move to circular economy systems.
