Aluminum is mainly extracted from bauxite minerals and its resistance to oxidation, its softness, and its lightness are remarkable. Raw aluminum is processed through various industrial production processes, such as casting, forging or stamping. Aluminum is used in many industries for the manufacture of millions of different products and is very important to the world economy. Structural components made of aluminum are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other fields of transport and construction where lightness, durability and strength are needed. Aluminum packaging, except in very special cases, is collected together with other types of materials (eg glass, ferrous packaging), in a manner that varies from municipality to municipality. The most common packaging that circulates in the home and in which aluminum is almost always present are: beverage cans, aerosol cans, tins and trays for food, flexible tubes such as mayonnaise tubes. To these must be added the so-called "thin sheet" (for example aluminum sheets in rolls) and caps or similar with screw closure. Aluminum packaging is identified by the symbol alu or 'AL'. If in doubt, the simplest way to ascertain the nature of a metal object is to use a magnet: aluminum is totally non-magnetic.
