The diagram illustrates how

aluminium

cans

are recycled. First, the

cans

need to be taken to special collection centres

instead

of being thrown away with the normal refuse. The

cans

are collected from here and taken to a factory where they are first sorted and

then

cleaned.

Next

, the

cans

are shredded and crushed in a special machine. The metal is

then

heated to a high enough temperature to allow the

aluminium

to melt. It is

then

rolled out flat to a thickness of between 2.5mm and 6 mm, depending on what it is going to be used for. The

aluminium

is now ready to be recycled into new

packaging

as drink containers.

Finally

, the new

cans

are delivered to a soft drinks factory where they are filled. The

cans

can now be sold to the public and reused. In the UK, 74 per cent of all

aluminium

cans

that are sold are recycled.
