Aluminium that is recycled, (including our capsules), is collectively reprocessed and endlessly reformed. Most of the capsules that are recycled are returned into the general aluminium stream, to become new aluminium products, from cans to car or airplane parts. Some of the capsules that are returned to us by consumers in countries close to Germany (France, Be-Ne-Lux and Switzerland) are re-melted and reformed to become new capsules. We focus on countries which are close to Germany as most of the aluminium re-smelters are located there, and it doesn’t make sense environmentally to bring back capsules from countries further away.
