Aluminium has become an integral part of our everyday life; you may even be reading this on a device with an aluminium body. Tablet PCs, flat screen TVs, sporting equipment, furniture, mirrors and coffee machines and many other products and gadgets we use in our everyday lives contain aluminium.

The aluminum industry makes countless soda cans, and thankfully, many of those are recycled. Aluminum foil is also a kitchen stable, and that’s one of the industry’s key drivers. Similarly, aluminum cooking pans – used for catering, baking, or shaping yummy treats like cupcakes – are also commonly known as aluminum consumer products. But sometimes, it’s not quite as obvious. Take a peek into your garage and you’ll find aluminum products all around. See that metal ladder? There’s a good chance that’s aluminum – its strength and light weight make it ideal to carry around when hard-to-reach places need to be fixed. The frame for that gas grill? Also probably aluminum.
