The Journey of Your Aluminum

After we deliver your aluminum to recycling facilities, it begins a transformation that demonstrates the power of recycling:

  1. Processing: Aluminum is processed by type and alloy in a rotary furnace
  2. Casting: The purified aluminum is cast into sows
  3. Processed Products: These aluminum sows are sold to manufacturers or tolled back to its source, who create new products

This entire process uses 95% less energy than creating new aluminum from raw materials, making it one of the most environmentally beneficial recycling activities possible.
