What is recycling?

It’s a process, whether physio-chemical or mechanical, by which certain used materials can be transformed into new products.

What can I recycle?

Plastic, glass, paper, aluminum, steel, copper, among others, can be recycled safely. Other products that can harm the environment, such as alkaline batteries, printers and toner, motor oil, tires, car batteries, old refrigerators, etc., have to be recycled in a special way.

How is aluminum recycled?

First, products containing aluminum are collected – these can include cans, wire, aluminum foil, kitchen utensils, etc.

Cans and other products are compacted and transported to a recycling center, such as those operated by NOVITZA. The compacted product is put into a grinder to break it up in order to reduce the volume and facilitate the task of the machines. An electromagnetic separator is used to remove other materials such as iron, dirt, etc.

The aluminum is heated to approximately 750 °C ± 100 °C to produce molten aluminum that is then transformed into different presentations, chiefly ingots of different weights.

Afterward, the aluminum is again melted and subjected to lamination, atomization and extrusion processes or can transported in liquid state.

This is used to make original products such as cans, door and window frames, and automotive, airline and satellite parts, among others.
