Reference answer:
How to describe
the process…
• The consumer throws aluminum cans and foil into a recycling bin.
• The aluminum is then collected and taken to a treatment plant.
• In the treatment plant the aluminum is sorted and cleaned
ready for reprocessing.
• It then goes through a re-melt process and turns into molten aluminum, this removes the
coatings and inks that may be present on the aluminum.
• The aluminum is then made into large blocks called ingots. Each ingot
contains about 1.6 million drinks cans.
• The ingots are sent to mills where they are rolled out, this gives the aluminum greater flexibility and
strength.
• This is then made into aluminum products such as cans, chocolate
wrapping and ready meal packaging.
• In as little as 6 weeks, the recycled aluminum products are then sent back to the shops ready to be used again.
