Aluminum is a non-ferrous metal that is lightweight and robust. It contains other metallic properties of malleability, ductility, and conductivity of heat and electricity. This metal has a broad spectrum of usage in the transportation, construction, and cookware industries.

A vital application area of aluminum is the food and beverage sector. Consequently, aluminum cans contribute the most prominent usage of this metal. In a given year, the number of aluminum cans produced worldwide is approximately 180 billion.

As aluminum cans are for single-use, many scrap aluminum cans get generated. Below we have mentioned some ways how companies utilize the used aluminum cans.

·       Sell to Recyclers – Companies can sell or give away the used aluminum cans to factories that recycled the metal. The recyclers can manufacture fresh cans or pass on the metal to other industries.

 

·       DIY Décor – Organizations can use cans to decorate their residence or office interiors. Instead of buying showpieces from the market, they can create their décor with scrap aluminum cans.

 

·       Handover to Construction Sites – If the company has an ongoing construction project, they can provide the scrap material there. The workers would know how to melt, and weld the aluminum can scrap to use on the site.

 

·       Sell to Other Industries – Transportation, construction, and kitchenware industries often seek scrap aluminum for sale. Thus, companies can sell their used aluminum cans to these firms.

 

·       Reuse as Cans – Aluminum is considered a better alternative to PET bottles. Thus, people can clean and reuse cans as bottles.

 

How is Reusing Scrap Aluminum Cans Helpful For Nature?

The industrial manufacturing of aluminum emits harmful substances into nature. Thus, reusing is always a better option as the demand to manufacture new materials would eventually decrease. Also, other energy sources, such as heat and electricity, are saved if we utilize reused materials.

As mentioned above, companies can use scrap aluminum cans in multiple ways. Reusing scrap aluminum is crucial for sustaining the environment’s non-renewable resources. It also protects our nature from the harmful industrial exhaust. Therefore, companies should take this initiative for reusing aluminum can scrap.
