How to recycle
Metal recycling
The Aluminium Foil Factory
Aluminium is extracted from bauxite ore in a process called the Bayer Process. At this stage you’re left with Aluminium oxide, which is then refined into pure aluminium using the Hall-Heroult process.
Our Aluminium Foil Range
We use a small amount of aluminium foil in the packaging of A Good Humanium Metal Pen, our pen made from Humaniun Metal which is produced by recycling illegal firearms. The proceeds from the sale of the pen go funding projects that tackle violent crime in developing countries.
