Aluminium Scrap

Aluminium scrap comes in various types, each categorized based on its source, quality, and alloy composition. Here’s a quick list of the most common types of aluminium scrap:

• Aluminium Cans: These are the most commonly recycled aluminium items, often collected from beverages and food packaging.
• Aluminium Siding: Scraps from building materials like aluminium cladding or siding panels used in construction.
• Cast Aluminium : Found in automotive parts, cookware, and machinery, this type of aluminium is formed through a casting process.
• Sheet Aluminium : Thin flat pieces of aluminium used in manufacturing, often found in roofing, gutters, and other applications.
• Aluminium Wire: Electrical wires and cables made from aluminium, typically leftover from electrical jobs or old wiring systems.
• Aluminium Foil: Thin aluminium sheets commonly used in kitchens or packaging materials.
• Aluminium Wheels: Found in vehicles, these are high-quality scraps made from durable aluminium alloys.
• Extruded Aluminium: Aluminium shaped into specific forms like rods, bars, or structural components often used in construction or manufacturing.
• Dirty Aluminium: Aluminium mixed with other materials like steel or plastic, requiring separation before recycling.
• Painted Aluminium: Aluminium coated with paint, commonly from construction or old appliances.

Understanding these categories helps in sorting and recycling aluminium more efficiently. Properly separating scrap types ensures higher value and better sustainability outcomes.
