Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2005
Name
Aluminum Recycling ; Recycled Aluminum Ingots ; Scrap Aluminum
Use advice for data set Users of this data set should be aware that the data reflects the state of aluminum recycling processes as of 2005. It is crucial to consider technological advancements and efficiencies that may have occurred since then when using this data for current applications. Additionally, users should account for any process improvements or changes in environmental regulations that could affect the recycling process. Methodologically, it is important to consider the boundaries of the life cycle assessment and ensure consistent system boundaries when comparing with other data sets.
Technical purpose of product or process The recycled aluminum ingots produced through this industrial process are typically used as a raw material for various aluminum products manufacturing, such as construction materials, automobile parts, packaging, and consumer electronics. The high-quality results from the recycling process make these ingots suitable for applications that require specific mechanical properties and purity levels.
