Introduction: Aluminum is an element of the boron group with a symbol Al and an atomic number of 13. Aluminum is a very soft metal when pure but becomes strong and hard when alloyed, a malleable metal. silver gray metal. Aluminum is a very reactive element, so it is found in nature in combination with other elements. Aluminum resists corrosion due to the formation of a self-protecting oxide coating. Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, after oxygen and silicon. It represents approximately 8% of the weight of the earth's surface. While this is obvious, it is also obvious that aluminum is never found alone in nature. All of Earth's aluminum has combined with other elements to form compounds and create new aluminum products; it must be extracted from that specific compound. Aluminum doesn't rust like other elements, so it always stays strong and shiny, meaning reused aluminum looks almost the same as a brand new piece of metal. An electrochemical process creates aluminum. An electrochemical process is “the direct end-use process in which electricity is used to cause a chemical transformation” (Government EIA). The main uses of electrochemical processes occur in the aluminum industry in which alumina is reduced to molten aluminum and oxygen, where aluminum can be used in the manufacture of several different materials. Electrochemical processes, although very useful, can have serious environmental consequences. To help reduce the consequences created by aluminum production, the idea of ​​aluminum recycling comes into play. What is aluminum recycling? Aluminum recycling is the process by which used aluminum scraps can be reused into new and different ones...... In the middle of the paper process, the easier it is to improve the environment. Because there is still time to do things like recycle in order to live in a society of the future where it is possible to maintain a healthy and sustainable planet.BibliographyImportance of recycling.
