What is aluminum? Apart from being one of the most used materials in today’s world, it is also the most abundant metal extracted.
What properties make it so demanded and determine such a wide range of uses?
The main characteristic that turns aluminum into a unique kind of metal for modern industry is that its lightweight, which is essential in automobile, aircraft, transportation, and manufacturing.
This metal is very soft but durable at the same time. These attributes are relevant in packaging. Examples include foil and cans used in production of kitchen utensils. Aluminum has played a critical role in present-day electronics and electrical systems. Castings, LED lights, transistors, wires, and photo equipment are just a few things that could not even exist without aluminum.

This incredibly high demand for industry aluminum makes scrap aluminum valuable. Another point that makes its recycling profitable is the fact that it does not require a lot of effort to prepare it since this metal is highly fusible. Mining, extracting and then producing new aluminum is a very costly and energy-consuming process. Re-melting and future reuse contribute greatly to industry sustainability and environmental protection.
