<p>EditEr7475: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Recycling-Code-41.svg|thumb|250px|An aluminium recycling symbol.]]<br /> <br /> '''Scrap aluminum''' is [[aluminum]] suitable for recycling. The process involves simply re-melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy-intensive than creating new aluminium. Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium from the raw ore. For this reason, a significant amount of aluminium produced sometimes comes from old recycled scrap.<br /> <br /> Sources for recycled aluminium include aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, computers, coke cans, cookware, gutters, siding, wire, and many other products that need a strong lightweight material, or a material with high thermal conductivity. As recycling does not transmute the element, aluminium can be recycled indefinitely and still be used to produce any product for which new aluminium could have been used.<br /> <br /> == Dependencies ==<br /> <br /> * [[Aluminum]]<br /> ** '''Scrap aluminum'''<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> &lt;div style=&quot;column-count:2&quot;&gt;<br /> * [[Scrap]]<br /> * [[Scrap copper]]<br /> * [[Scrap iron]]<br /> * [[Scrap paper]]<br /> * [[Scrap steel]]<br /> * [[Scrap thermoplastics]]<br /> * [[Recycled materials]]<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{wa|Aluminium_recycling}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> *[https://web.archive.org/web/20100620091318/http://www.lightmetalage.com/producers.php Secondary Aluminum Smelters of the World] - A list of companies who produce secondary aluminium (recycled or remelted from scrap metal)<br /> * [[wikipedia:Aluminium dross recycling|Aluminium dross recycling]], Wikipedia<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scrap]]</div>
