They account for a relatively small part of the aluminium can market, processing 300 million aluminium cans per year, plus they re-process industrial off-cut. They have it set to have their designated required volumes of input material freighted in from wherever. They manufacture aluminium products to specific order, as the orders come in, which can be liquor bottle tops, window frames, seating, cladding, maybe auto parts [ except that Novelis would be way ahead on that ], and whatever else. .
Funny how when I drove a big truck I would pick up crushed soda cans in North Dakota and take them to Alcoa in Tennessee, and I lived right near that plant.
Oh, you did that as a professional freight job. I thought for a sec that you were hauling other freight and picking up aluminium cans by the roadside or whatever on the way then incidentally dropping them off because you perchance passed Alcoa. Which would be nonsense, of course. One could not muck around like that as a rig driver. But, I suppose, if someone was close by a plant which smeltered aluminium cans then one could in fact conceivably drop soda cans off at the plant and thereby circumvent recycling collection points. They probably would not pay you for them and tell you to stay out of the way of the furnaces and control buttons and keep the parking bays clear, but they'd accept the offload were it sorted and unmixed.
Jat Tan Really, if you have loyal employees they are more likely to do the right thing and for example don’t let out of spec product leave the door. Not hard to understand and I’m unbiased I do not work there
Great video. Recycling is a Great Process which help in the creation of everyday commodities
I appreciate your saving me money!

I saved aluminum cans when I was a kid in the 1970s for 15 cents a pound. It was fun!
Gosh, those sound effects!!!!

@@jonglewongle3438 if your gonna troll then get it right. You don't smelt cans. They are melted. Ore is smelted to get the mineral you desire.
@@donniebrown2896 He wasn't trolling. I thought the same for a second.
What about that whaist collor.??
Recycled Aluminum Cans(UBCs) is a Raw Material in Aluminum ingots production and Aluminum products production
I am asking what yall doing after yall skim the stuff off what yall go what it
The material skimmed off is sent out its technically hazmat since it produces hydrogen gas when reacting with moisture
Why am I watching? this the seems like a video they make you watch before for you start working there
Is that hooked on phonics or....
It actually is
Does anyone know if metal recycling is an endless process? Some of that aluminium technically is years old?
Yes
sadly no.
In theorie the process is endless but in practice some material is lost to oxidation and not all ( small ) materials reach the recycling industry
Not that old. Aluminum hasn't been produced that long.
@@toomanymarys7355 Over 100 years seem pretty long to me.
I want my house covered in your find product.
If it's LAME.. it has music overlapping the video now. =Sad.
Waat I work thier 🤣😅 can't complain about the pay $$ though.
Whatever they paid for this video is waaaay too much though. Lol.
So now I am up voting commercials....
Aluminium, Colour and Armour, there you go I fixed those three for you Americans.
Population of England: 55 million, pop of US: 325 million. US has Hollywood (influences everyone). US wins. :)
Sorry, you can keep your extra vowels and possibly sell them to those in need.
Gee Kay I’m going to give them to ISIS just to spite you lot. Well done, they are now ISUISUI because of you and your ungrateful kind.
As the English pronounce it: al you min ee um.
In the oh so proper looking down their nose English accent.
Many Europeans pronounce it: aluminium. You know like in Roman, as it SHOULD be pronounced!

Your employees are 'loyal' ? Is that compulsory? Or did you mean 'legal' ?. lmfao.
I don't also see how being "loyal" to the company makes their customer's orders arrive on time
