Aluminum Recycling: A Sustainable Solution
Aluminum’s versatility is well-known, making it a staple in various applications. Its commendable properties, including high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and endless recyclability without degradation, contribute to its widespread use. However, aluminum production, involving mining, refining, and smelting, emits significant pollution.
Individuals and businesses alike can recycle their old, discarded aluminum as a sustainable alternative to counteract this environmental impact. The significance of recycling aluminum cannot be overstated. Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials in the world, meaning it can be used over and over and over again.
Did you know that almost 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today (source)?
Moreover, manufacturing products out of recycled aluminum requires only about 5% of the energy necessary to produce an equivalent amount of brand-new aluminum. This saves money for businesses and consumers and significantly reduces carbon emissions, aligning with the recent global push for more sustainable practices. So, by bringing your aluminum back to a metal salvaging company like McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, not only are you getting paid for your metal, but you’re also making a difference and participating in a circular economy.
Beyond Cans and Cars
While aluminum cans and old cars might be the first things to come to mind when recycling aluminum, numerous other products also contain valuable aluminum. The list is extensive, from cables and manufacturing scrap like leftover aluminum sheet skeletons to tubing and even pie pans.
Additionally, everyday items like lawn furniture and wheelchairs often include aluminum components. So when sending your aluminum off to be recycled with McSteel Salvage & Cleanup, don’t overlook the little things you may have lying around; they could be worth separating and recycling!
