General comment Secondary Aluminum is the result of recycling aluminum scrap into aluminum that can be used again. This process is environmentally sound and is around 95% more energy efficient than primary production. Secondary aluminum refers to recycled aluminum from various sources processed in secondary alloys. Much of the aluminum in use today has been recycled and reprocessed for further use. The secondary production of aluminum involves collecting and recycling aluminum scrap back into a usable state.
