Tins made of thin metal sheets is often preferred in roofing, facade cladding, water pipes, box and packaging construction. Tin materials that are used or that have lost their function are called waste tin. Waste tin recycling is an extremely important issue for reducing environmental pollution and for a sustainable future.
Waste tin products can be included in the metal waste class. Various sources such as empty tin cans, beverage cans, metal caps, oil cans, paint cans and other tin products are classified as waste tin. These wastes are recyclable and reusable materials.
When waste cans are recycled, they can be used to produce new can materials, which prevents the depletion of natural resources and provides an environmentally friendly solution. Waste tin recycling also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by saving energy.
How to Recycle Waste Tin?
Waste tin recycling processes are carried out at ministry-approved recycling facilities. Recycling of waste cans can be used to obtain new tin products. In this way, the consumption of natural resources can be prevented and sustainability in production can be achieved. Waste tin recycling stages may differ according to the materials used in recycling facilities.
Waste tin recycling begins with the collection of waste tin materials from homes, businesses and public spaces and sending them to recycling facilities. Waste tin materials are sorted and separated at recycling facilities. In the classification and separation process, different types of cans are separated from each other, and dirty or contaminated cans are separated.
Waste tin materials, which are classified and separated, are divided into small pieces in special grinding machines. Then the grinded tin materials are separated from the different metals by means of magnetic separators. Magnetic separators are used to separate ferrous metals that react to the magnetic field on tin materials.
The grinded tin materials are washed using hot water and detergent. In this process, dirt, oil and other residues are removed from the materials. The washed tin materials are melted and melted in special furnaces or furnaces. Finally, the melted tin materials are turned into new tin products using different molds.
At the end of these steps, waste tin materials are recovered for use in making new tin products. Recycled tin materials provide an eco-friendly option to make new tin products, avoiding the consumption of natural resources.
