Aluminum Recycling: A Wiser Trend Aluminum is a metal that is has been in use for a long time now for a variety of reasons and manufacturing a wide array of materials. Aluminum has been into the process of recycling almost after a few years of its manufacturing. This practice has especially taken speed and importance after the usage of aluminum cans came into being. The amount of aluminum that is used on daily basis is humongous. It is a metal that can be continually recycled without being affected in the quality areas. Also, recycling it saves a lot of place in the landfills as it is an extensively used metal. Recycling of aluminum can have the below listed advantages: 1. Curbing environmental hazards: Aluminum, being an extensively used metal, if not recycled would require vast landfills. Through the process of recycling however this space can be saved. Apart from this, aluminum is not easily bio-degradable. It takes around 400 years for aluminum to break down. Also, mining and extracting of aluminum is a process that releases lot of hazardous gases and is very much polluting. So recycling is definitely a smarter option as it barely requires about 5% of energy. And not just the can recycling, aluminum in the form of even aircraft parts and aluminum foil that is cleaned of food residue can be recycled.
2. Saving the buck: Since the prices and value for scrap metals has increased greatly over the years, aluminum scrap has been one of the most purchased materials. Manufacturers are keen to purchase this scrap and recycle it to make new products, instead of using fresh aluminum. Also, recycling of aluminum is extremely economical as it never wears out. This is also due to the high intrinsic value that aluminum has. Aluminum is known to hold the most cost-effective status amongst all the other metals. Aluminum is also cost effective as it is not restricted in the area of structure or function. For instance, the aluminum which was an electric cable can be used and made into a soda can as well.
