Recycled Aluminium Products

Recycled aluminium products are essential for creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly future. Aluminium is a highly versatile metal that can be recycled repeatedly without any loss of its original properties. The process of recycling aluminium requires significantly less energy compared to the production of primary aluminium from raw materials, making it an attractive option for reducing carbon emissions and conserving resources.

When aluminium is recycled, it goes through a series of steps that involve sorting, cleaning, and melting. The first step is to collect aluminium products, such as cans, foil, car parts, and building materials, from homes, businesses, and recycling centers. The collected aluminium is then sorted based on its alloy type, as different alloys have varying melting points and properties. This sorting process ensures that the recycled aluminium can be used to produce high-quality products with the desired characteristics.

Once sorted, the aluminium undergoes a thorough cleaning process to remove any contaminants, such as paint, plastic, or dirt. This cleaning step is crucial to maintain the integrity of the recycled aluminium and prevent impurities from affecting the final product's quality. After cleaning, the aluminium is shredded into small pieces and then melted in a furnace.

Melting the aluminium requires significantly less energy compared to the production of primary aluminium. Recycling aluminium consumes only about 5% of the energy needed to produce new aluminium from bauxite ore, the primary source of aluminium. Additionally, recycling aluminium saves valuable resources as it prevents the need for mining and extracting bauxite, which can be environmentally destructive.

Once melted, the aluminium can be cast into various forms depending on the desired product. It can be transformed into sheets, tubes, rods, or extrusions for use in industries such as construction, automotive, packaging, and aerospace. Recycled aluminium is commonly used in the production of beverage cans, window frames, car parts, bicycles, and even airplanes.

Using recycled aluminium products offers numerous benefits. Firstly, it helps reduce carbon emissions associated with the production of primary aluminium. The greenhouse gas emissions from recycling aluminium are approximately 95% lower than those generated during primary production. By choosing recycled aluminium, we can actively contribute to mitigating climate change.

Secondly, recycling aluminium conserves natural resources. As an infinitely recyclable material, aluminium can be reused over and over again without compromising its quality. By recycling aluminium, we can save precious raw materials like bauxite and reduce the strain on mining activities.

Lastly, using recycled aluminium products supports a circular economy. Instead of discarding aluminium products as waste, recycling them ensures that they are systematically collected, processed, and reintroduced into the production cycle. This creates a closed-loop system where the materials retain their value and contribute to a more sustainable economy.

In conclusion, recycled aluminium products play a crucial role in promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact. By choosing recycled aluminium, we can reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and support a circular economy. It is essential for individuals, businesses, and governments to prioritize the use of recycled aluminium and actively participate in recycling programs to maximize these benefits.

Aluminum Prices Spike Up 62% and Will Continue Rallying in 2022
Dec 2, 2021
Eye 1251

Throughout this year, global aluminum prices continuously grew and in October 2021 gained 62% compared to October 2020. China's output has decreased due to restrictions on energy usage and halted production at a 300K-ton capacity factory in Yunnan province. As a consequence, the average yearly price in 2022 is projected to rise by 6% y-o-y. Despite rising prices, the U.S., the world´s largest aluminum importer, expanded its purchases by 4.5% against 2020.

Aluminum Prices to Accelerate on Robust Demand from Construction and Alternative Energy
Aug 2, 2021
Eye 659

Prices for aluminum this year will remain low thanks to the consistent growth in global production of the metal overcoming obstacles caused by the pandemic. In the mid-term, demand for aluminum in the construction sector and car manufacturing is forecast to steadily rise. The rapid development of alternative energy sources will also drive the market up because aluminum is used in the production of solar batteries, wind generators and other components of energy facilities. In China, the launch of quotas on greenhouse gas emissions could lead to higher prices for aluminum as production for the metal in the country leaves a heavy carbon footprint.
