Why do we recycle aluminium?
Simply because it's cheaper (and less energy hungry) to recycle aluminium - than produce new batches from raw materials. Aluminium can be infinitely re-cycled.
Why is BBC Canada not showing new antiques roadshow shows?

Is it possible to recycle an automatic coffee machine that is beyond repair?
It is not possible to recycle coffee machine, because the new one is cheaper than the cost of recycling one, and due to the high cost of its spare parts. It is preferable to replace it bu brand new one, to save time and money.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
What are the applications of engineering economy to electrical engineering?
Aluminum wire is cheaper than copper 2 wire cord is cheaper than 3 wire cord epoxy insulation can stand higher temperature than cotton so the new motors can use less copper and steel so are cheaper and less efficient brass bushings are cheaper than ball bearings plastic gears are cheaper than metal gears plastic takes less time to make than porcelain so is cheaper crimpy terminals dont need skilled assembly like solder terminals and give point contact rather than solid contact nylon ties need less skill than linen serving cord brushless dc motors are not DC at all but brushes require occasional maintenance bean counters are not engineers insurance companies are not doctors
New methods using bacteria fungi and plants are being developed to extract copper suggest three reasons why these new methods have been developed?
it will be cheaper ?
What are the advantages of recyling metals?
The advantage is - you don't need to spend money mining the raw materials (and reducing the finite amount that's on the planet). Additionally, re-melting previously-used metals takes much less energy than refining new metal from its raw ingredients. This makes it cheaper to recycle, than to refine new metal.
Why were the tools for the bronze age stronger than those of earlier times?
Answer: The new smelting processes made them stronger -Apex
Is driving from new Plymouth to Auckland cheaper than flying?

Why recycle metals?
Some people think it will prolong are existence on this planet by eliminating waste in landfills. Plus it takes less energy to recycle metal than to mine and smelt new metal.
Why recycle aluminum?
Aluminum is widely used for many things, so there is a constant need for it. Recycling used aluminum goods into new aluminum takes only a fraction of the energy needed to smelt new aluminum from bauxite ore. Hence, recycling aluminum is "green" in two ways: It reduces energy use, and it preserved the deposits of aluminum ore (bauxite) still in the ground.
