In France, the low rate of recovery and collection of aluminium from waste is a major challenge for the recycling industry.
This shortfall is often attributed to a lack of suitable equipment in sorting centres, limiting optimum recovery of this precious metal.

Recycling challenge: excluding small packaging
Sorting centres focus mainly on sorting large rigid aluminium packaging such as cans, aerosols and tins. However, small packaging such as crushed cans, trays, lids, caps, lids and coffee pods, as well as aluminium foil, are often rejected by the sorting process. Marc Teyssier D’Orfeuil, Managing Director of CELAA, points out that these materials are often destined for landfill or incineration, contributing to the waste of precious resources.
