Attribute to this property, aluminum is one of the most recycled and most recyclable materials in the consumer and industrial waste stream. Recycling of aluminum produces significant cost savings over the production of new aluminum, even when the cost of collection, separation and recycling are taken into account. Besides saving cost, it also benefits the environment as recycled aluminum uses only 5% of the energy that would be needed for making new aluminum. Aluminum shredder such as aluminum can shredder is one of the popular recycling machines in aluminum recycling.

Scrap aluminum comes from various sources including buildings, vehicles, computers, cookware, transmission housings, radiators, sheet, cast, clips, extrusion, profiles, window/door frames and more. Used beverage cans/containers are the largest components of processed aluminum scrap, with most UBC scrap manufactured back into aluminum cans.

In aluminum’s recycling process, the collected aluminum scraps are firstly shredded into small pieces. After size reduction, the aluminum shred will be fed into de-coater to de-lacquer paint or other materials. At last, the de-coated shreds will be melted in a furnace and further produced into ingots which serve as raw material for making new aluminum products.
