The low energy consumption required for recycling aluminum makes the process important. The energy required to recycle aluminum is about 4-5% of the energy that is needed to produce the light-weight metal from bauxite. Thus, recycling aluminum will result in 95% energy saving. Aluminum scrap and waste fall into two general categories: new and old scrap. New scrap is metal that is left over during the production of finished products or semis. Old scrap, on the other hand, is metal from end-of-life goods. Aluminum scrap can be used by producers with melting capacities, which include producers of secondary unwrought, casting parts, sheets and plates, and wire rod in Turkey. A major portion of these products are produced by secondary smelters. Given the importance of scrap and waste, the market is expected to grow over the coming years.
