Nowadays recycling is one of the best and important ways to save the earth for generations to come. IN the meantime, aluminum is very useful material. This metal is vastly used in the construction of aircraft and even space rockets. However, people normally associate aluminum with pop cans. Therefore, recycling aluminum cans is a good idea and a big step in preserving the environment. The following chart displays the seven steps of recycling aluminum cans.
First of all, the used cans need to be collected from all the recycle bins. In the next step, aluminium cans are cleaned, and sorted by different features, such as weight, dimensions, the metals used in them. Some so-called aluminum cans actually contain other metals and alloys. Once sorted, the cans are then heated and melted after being shredded and compressed. The next phase in the recycling process includes rolling the aluminum already melted. The sheets produced this way could be between 2. 5 to 6 millimeters in thickness.
Finally, newly produced cans are going to include more than 70 percent of the recycled aluminum sheets. These cans will go to the market to be used as completely fresh the not recycled and new form of them.
