Only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary (new) aluminium is needed to recycle scrap (old) aluminium back into new aluminium.
Recycling aluminium conserves significant amounts of energy – it reduces the carbon footprint of the material by reducing the impact of bauxite mining and the energy production required for primary smelting.
Aluminium can be recycled infinitely without any loss of its properties. This also applies to the copper, magnesium, manganese, chrome, silicon and other elements used in making aluminium alloys. So when an aluminium alloy such as a 6 series extrusion or plate is recycled, its alloying elements are retained and also recycled.
“Closed loop recycling” delivers maximum energy and resource efficiency.
One of the best examples of closed loop recycling is the aluminium beverage can.
There is no such thing as 'away'. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere. When you put the whole picture together, recycling is the right thing to do
