Aluminium is one of the most desirable metals in the world and is used in many industries such as transport, food, electronics and electrical power transmission and construction. It is also very popular to recycle because of its low energy needs and high scrap value.
During the recycling process, aluminium does not degrade because its atomic structure is not altered when melted. It is therefore an economically and environmentally effective metal to recycle. Recycled aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make primary aluminium, and can have the same properties as the parent metal. In fact, aluminium can be recycled endlessly without loss of material properties.
