Many products can be recycled. I will give two examples and how work the procedure. The first one and the easiest to recycle is paper.The paper is collected by recycling banks by waste management companies. Once the paper is collected they sorted, graded, and deliver to a paper mill. After that they added to water and then turned into pulp, to later screened, cleaned, and de-inked through a number of processes until it is suitable for papermaking. At that point it can be used to make newsprint, cardboard, packaging, tissue and office items.
The second one is the aluminum. This product can be recycled many times without loss the properties. And the recycle it just 5% of the energy and emissions needed in comparison to make it from raw material bauxite. Knowing that we can see how is important and we can help the environment to recycle that product.
This aluminum is the product most collected. Aluminum drinks cans are collected by almost all local authorities, and increasingly aluminum foil; such as clean ready meal trays, chocolate foil and wrapping and cooking foil; is also collected.
The process is: Shred the whole cans, removing any colored coating. When finish that procedure start to melt the shreds in a furnace to, after that, pour the molten metal into ingot casts to set. "Aluminum foil is a different alloy, and is usually recycled with other aluminum scraps to make cast items such as engine components, where it makes a big contribution to making vehicles lighter and more energy efficient." And many people think they are used just to make the same thing.
Did you know they use aluminum to make cast items such as engine components? I did not know that. And it is just one more thing that make me keeping recycling. Every time I read about recycling I find something interesting about that topic. The next one I will explain will be about the plastic recyclingthat is more complex.
