A single tonne of recycled aluminium saves approximately 4 tonnes of bauxite, 6,300 litres of oil, 14,000 kWh of energy and 7.6 cubic metres of landfill. In a world where every resource counts, imagine if your first car had infinite lives; just like those mythical cats with their legendary nine lives. But in this unique […]

Aluminium alloy melting and production processes generate a by-product called aluminium dross, which is a mixture of entrapped aluminium metal, aluminium oxide and impurities. Depending on the raw material and melting process, dross can contain 30%-70% of aluminium metal or more. Collecting the metal from dross is a key challenge and a necessary step to […]

It is of course, well understood and acknowledged that Recycling Aluminium saves more than 90 percent of the energy that would be needed to smelt a comparable amount of the metal from its raw materials. It is estimated that recycling of every Kg of Aluminium saves earth 5Kg of Bauxite, 4 Kgs of Chemical products […]
