The graphic illustrates the steps involved in the process of recycling aluminium cans.
Overall, the process consists of six steps, starting from collecting used aluminium cans, going through a series of processing procedures, and ending with recycled cans being used in England.
The first step involves used cans being collected by big trucks in order to transport the used products to the factories. This is followed by cleaning and sorting process, which helps choose suitable cans for recycling based on the criteria. After that, standard cans are shredded and compressed, which helps minimize the size of aluminium cans.
Subsequently, the small pieces of cans is subject in high temperature for melting. Following this, the aluminium liquidification is rolled in shape, maintaining the thickness of 2 – 5 milimeters to 6 milimeters. The next process is recycling the resulting products after rolling shape. Ultiminately, 74% recycled products is reused by citizens in the United Kingdom.
