Can aluminum profiles be recycled? If so, how?

Yes, aluminum profiles can be recycled. The recycling process typically involves collection, sorting, and shredding the aluminum profiles. After shredding, the material is melted in a furnace, which separates impurities and leaves behind pure aluminum. This molten aluminum can then be cast into new profiles or other products. The recycling of aluminum is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, as it requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce aluminum from raw materials. This makes aluminum recycling a sustainable practice that helps conserve resources and reduce waste.
