The illustration displays the process of aluminum recycling.
Overall, the cycle contains seven stages. The first step begins with people putting away used cans into specific trash vans for this material and ends with reusing aluminum items.
To begin, individuals who used things that contain aluminum material put them in particular vans. A specific machine collects those cans and transports them to the recycling center. There, the items are washed, sorted regardless to their type, shredded, and, at the end, compressed. After than stage, aluminum substance is heated and melted. As a result, the soft material is prepared for being shaped by rolling it. Furthermore, the slide must be of a particular size, as it must be wide between 2.5 mm to 6.6 mm.
The final products, recycled aluminum cans, are made 74% from recycled materials, according to the data from the UK. The cans can now be used again.
