What is Aluminium?

Aluminium recycling is the process by which scrap, or end-of-life aluminium products (primary among them beverage cans and aluminum foils, automobile parts, and construction and building products) are re-melted, or scrap is converted back into usable aluminium with little loss of properties. Aluminium recycling is very cost-effective and meaningful in ecological footprint. It conserves bauxite and reduces greenhouse gas emissions because metal can be recycled repeatedly at little cost in energy. The recycling process consists of collecting, sorting, cleaning, shredding, melting and casting the metal into new products. Its efficiency, economy and sustainability make aluminium recycling part of a successful circular economy.

Market Trends and Drivers:

The aluminium recycling market is expected to grow at a rapid pace due to rising sustainability targets, urbanization, circular economy, and stringent waste management measures, EPR regulations and recycling targets imposed on the producers of aluminium products by various countries to have a higher proportion of high recycled content aluminium in their products. The recycling rate and operating cost are reduced by technological advancements in automation via AI based sorting, high-efficiency furnace technology and new, more efficient scrap processing technologies. Further demand from the automotive and aerospace industries for lightweight materials is driving the use of recycled aluminium, as industries try to decrease their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. This is due in part to the large packaging industry, and high levels of collection and recycling of aluminium cans and foil. Consumer awareness and a well-developed reverse logistics chain also play a part. Another contributing factor is energy savings, with recycling 1 tonne of material using 95% less energy than producing 1 tonne from primary material. People have invested a lot in secondary aluminum plants. People adopt renewable energy use more. People apply recycled aluminum more widely in consumer electronics and buildings. These trends help expand the aluminium recycling market and can contribute importantly to global sustainability and efficiency.
