The illustration depicts how aluminum cans are recycled.
Overall, the 7-step cycle begins with people putting the aluminum cans into the bins and ends with the production of new cans. This is achieved by turning aluminum into recycled material, which can be reused.
As can be seen in the picture, the process begins with the placement of aluminum containers into specialized bins, which are then collected by bin lorries. They are then transported to a processing plant to be sorted by machines. When they have been correctly sorted, they can be crushed and dropped into a liquid so they can be washed and compressed into aluminum blocks.
As shown, in step 4, the resulting fragments are then placed into the capacity to be heated and melted at a very high temperature. The next part is rolling, which results in a thickness of 2.5 mm to 6 mm. Then this is the result of the recycled product by 74% in the UK for reuse.
