At W & K Scrap Metal, we recognise the importance of recycling aluminium, a lightweight and durable metal with many applications. Here are the different types of aluminium scrap commonly found:
Cast Aluminium: This type of aluminium scrap includes items such as transmission housings (steel free), and other castings. It is widely used in the automotive and manufacturing industries.
Extruded Aluminium: Extruded aluminium scrap refers to profiles and frames used in construction, transportation, and consumer goods. These include window frames, door frames, and aluminium tubing.
Domestic Aluminium: Domestic aluminium scrap contains a combination of various aluminium products. It can include items like pots, pans, radiators and gutters. This category often requires sorting and separation before recycling.

Recycling aluminium offers significant environmental and economic advantages. By choosing to recycle aluminium with W & K Scrap Metal, you contribute to:
Energy Conservation: Recycling aluminium requires considerably less energy compared to primary production. Recycling uses up to 95% less energy, helping conserve valuable resources and reduce carbon emissions.
