Aluminium Cans

Scrappys buys aluminium cans for recycling.

In Australia, over two billion aluminium cans are recycled every year. Roughly ten percent of Australia’s electricity goes into making brand new aluminium – using recycled aluminium cans to make new aluminium saves a huge amount of energy.

Make sure your aluminium cans are empty. Aluminium cans which only contained thin liquids like soft drink or juice do not need to be rinsed. If you shake them out until there are no more drips, that’s clean enough. When they are taken for recycling the cans are crushed, then melted in a furnace. The liquid aluminium is then placed in moulds for shaping new aluminium products.

Did you know?
  • Recycling just one aluminium can save enough energy to power a TV set for three hours.
  • Recycling aluminium cans saves 95 percent of the energy it would take to make new metal from bauxite ore.
  • Approximately 75% of aluminium ever produced is still in use today.
  • Aluminium is the most abundant element in the earth’s crust.
