Recycling Aluminum protects Environment

By: Karen | Posted: 05th January 2011

Metals are 100% recyclable. They do not lose their qualities even if recycled number of times. Aluminum is one such metal which even after recycling for number of times retains its natural qualities. The new trend in the metal is to recover metal via recycling. Recycling involves melting scrap. This process of recycling requires only 5% of energy used to produce aluminum ore. The aluminum which is recycled is known as secondary aluminum. Aluminum is recycled in wide of range of formats and 80% of it used in alloy injections.

When we use new aluminum not only the cost of production but also the cost of separation and recycling is taken into consideration. When aluminum is recycled larger national savings take place as there is reduction in capital cost related to landfill, mines and international shipping of raw aluminum.

The environmental benefits after recycling aluminum are:

1. Only 5% of CO2 is produced when aluminum is recycled.
2. Open- cut mining a type of surface mining; this type of mining is done mostly during obtaining aluminum ore because of there is destruction of natural resources. If aluminum is recycled this destruction won’t take place.
3. 95% of less energy is required during the recycling of aluminum can than that of producing a new one.
4. The aluminum cans are 100% recyclable.
5. Recycling just one aluminum can generates the electricity of 3 TV sets.
6. With the help of recycling for the past 25 years aluminum cans have become about 30% lighter.
