How is recovered aluminum processed into useful products?
Aluminum scrap is ground or shredded into small chips before being melted and cast into molds. The molds are sent to manufacturing plants where they are molded or rolled into sheets that can be shaped into various products. What products are made from recycled aluminum? Rolled sheets of recycled aluminum can be formed into many products, such as car bodies. Aluminum is also cast (molded) or extruded into many useful forms like pop cans. Recycled aluminum has the same qualities as newly extracted aluminum.
