At the beginning of the recycling process of aluminum cans, cans are gathered for the waste bin in the streets and transported to the recycling facility by using disposal trucks. Subsequently, in the recycling facility, the aluminum cans are cleaned, sorted, shreddered, and compressed to send them to the next process.
For the remaining stage of the recycling aluminum cans process, compressed aluminum is heated and melted to make a liquid. After that, the liquid aluminum is cooled to make a rolled sheet approximately 2.5 mm to 6 mm thick. After making the rolled sheet, it is sent to the factory to make recycling cans. Finally, the cans are reused for several purposes. In the UK, 74% of aluminum cans are recycled to be used again and again.
