Aluminium recycling

Aluminum is a very useful and common material that we use for many things like soda cans, airplane parts, and even car engines. But did you know that aluminum can be recycled to make new things instead of being thrown away?

When we recycle aluminum, we start by collecting it from things like soda cans or old car parts. Then, we put the aluminum through a process called melting. This means we heat it up until it turns into a liquid.

Once the aluminum is melted, we can pour it into molds to create new things like airplane parts or even new soda cans. This is really cool because it means that the same aluminum can be used again and again instead of being thrown away and taking up space in a landfill.

It's important to recycle aluminum because it takes a lot of energy and resources to make new aluminum from scratch. When we recycle it, we save energy and reduce waste. Plus, it's good for the environment!

So, next time you finish a soda can or see an old piece of aluminum lying around, remember that it can be recycled and turned into something brand new.
