Recycling beverage cans Profitable Exit

Of beverage containers, cans are the most recycled and reused: more than two of every three cans recycled consumed in Spain, around 68%. This figure has doubled in the last eight years. In 2000, only 30% of recycled cans on the market. As explained Millet, \ 'is the most recycled because there are many ways to pick \'. The cans are recycled from the yellow, magnetic separators in landfills and composting plants, scrap dealers and after the incineration of garbage, again you can pick any metal that has not withdrawn previamente.Y is to collect a can from the trash and reuse is very beneficial not only from the environmental point of view but also economically. As the energy and raw materials become more expensive in markets, \ "made of scrap aluminum consumes 95% less energy than is produced from bauxite. In steel, energy saving is 70% \ ', according to data provided by the president. The companies echo this improvement to your pocket. 70% of the 18 tons of steel produced in Spain comes from chatarra.No year is a little raw material, at least among the Spanish.

The country is the second largest consumer of tin cans in the world, only behind the U.S.. Consumption has doubled in the last 11 years partly \ 'because it is more convenient to carry and because culturally, the Spanish took very cold drinks and can give a greater sense of freshness \ "says Millet.

New industrial demand for metal cans and has spawned an industry and de-fragmentation buffer that gets recycled metal material of higher quality and purer. \ 'The steel that comes from these plants is very acceptable because it will directly cast, without prior purification \', says President. In landfills, they are introducing a type of magnets attract aluminum rings, so that the separation of materials is higher, as explained in the Association. \ 'Separate and shred the materials recycled in a more fine adds value to the final material, which means that more companies will be interested in purchasing for their processes \', subraya.La can also improved over time to be more ecological and cheaper. \ "It has reduced the thickness of the container. Thus, less material is used in its manufacture and weighs less, which is transported better \ 'he says.
