Used Beverage Cans (UBC) Recycling
Professional Manufacturer Of Used Beverage Can (UBC) Sorting Equipment
We specialize in manufacturing magnetic separation equipment, eddy current separators, and UBC-specific sorting equipment, focusing on R&D and production tailored to the beverage can recycling industry.
To meet the demands of plastic bottle and beverage aluminum can recycling, we deliver customized sorting solutions that maximize material recovery efficiency and streamline your UBC recycling processes.
Standard Waste Beverage Can Recycling System From RUIJIE
We customize beverage can recycling processes to meet your specific requirements, delivering a full set of machinery and equipment, plus complimentary design and production of sorting solutions.
Metal removal is a critical step in plastic bottle and aluminum can recycling. Our iron can sorting equipment and aluminum can sorting machines are purpose-built for this application, efficiently removing metals through cyclic processing. These complementary technologies work seamlessly throughout the recycling workflow to deliver your desired separation results.
What is Used Beverage Cans(UBC)?
Used Beverage Cans (UBC) refer to discarded aluminum beverage cans. As a valuable recyclable resource, UBC scrap is 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely, making it a core material in the circular economy for metal recycling.
What Are The Benefits Of Recycling Cans?
1. Environmental & Energy Benefits
- Saves precious bauxite resources
- Saves 97% of energy compared to producing primary aluminum
- Greatly reduces pollution and protects the global environment
2. Typical UBC Recycling Process
- Sorting
- Cleaning
- Melting into aluminum ingots / sheets
- Reused for new products: beverage cans, auto parts, building materials, etc.
3. Unique Advantage of Aluminum Recycling
- Recyclable countless times without quality loss
- Chemical composition remains almost unchanged after remelting
- No decline in performance of recycled aluminum ingots
What Happens To Waste Bottles After Recycling?
1. Collection & Initial Sorting
Bottles of different materials are collected by recyclers and sent to Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), where they are sorted into distinct raw material streams:
- Aluminum cans
- Steel cans
- Glass containers
- Plastic bottles
2. End Products After Recycling
| Material Type | Recycled Applications |
| Aluminum cans | New beverage cans, aerospace components, window frames, etc. |
| Steel cans | Rolled bars, new steel cans, bicycle frames, structural steel beams |
| Glass containers | New glass jars/bottles, glass aggregates for construction |
| Plastic bottles | New plastic bottles, food-grade containers, synthetic fiber textiles |
