How is aluminum recycled?

Products in cans are purchased, consumed and cans are disposed. If disposal is not driven to recycling, garbage collectors transport cans with any other trash to sanitary embankment. Cans are then collected in the embankment, by an organized process or by poor people in search for valuable items at the embankment to sell and make some money.Cans are sold to junk-dealers. Junk-dealers may have the ability to crush the cans or sell to someone who does it.Then cans go to an aluminum second level casting company. Melted aluminum is turned into ingots which are laminated in a rolling mill. A can factory produces new (recycled) cans which are filled with products and shipped to store and a new cycle is initiated.Curiosities:1) Beverage cans can have a life cycle between 30 and 45 days.2) Electricity savings between producing one single aluminum can and recycling it is enough to keep a TV working for 3 hours or a 100 Watts lamp for 20 hours.3) One pound, kilo, ton of recycled aluminum saves 5 times the same amount of bauxite, the core mineral to produce aluminum.
