Why You Should Recycle Aluminium Scrap
If you want to recycle aluminium found in your residential and commercial areas, you’re making a great choice to protect the environment.
Recycling aluminium is a greener option than mining new ore. However, it is never found by itself as a pure ore, and it is deposited in bauxite. Extracting pure aluminium from bauxite is a labor and resource-intensive process. Basically, the process involves melting the bauxite at extremely high temperatures, around 1,000 degrees Celsius, and placing it in an acidic chemical sodium hydroxide bath.
Now, you have imagined, it takes lots of energy to maintain that high temperature. In fact, recycling aluminum handles 5 percent of the energy used to refine raw aluminium. The recycling process doesn’t emit perfluorocarbons which is a highly harmful greenhouse gas.
It is always a better option to bring scrap aluminum for recycling. If you get aluminium to Molten Steel, we’ll pay you for making an effort. This is amazing, right?
