Aluminium is a soft, non-magnetic silver white metal, which does not lose its quality in recycling. It is mainly used in the transport industry and is found virtually everywhere in the forms of foils, cans, construction, etc.
Most of the aluminium is found in scrap metal in aluminium car rims, wires, plates and similar aluminium scraps.
Automotive batteries contain high levels of lead. They also contain sulphuric acid and heavy metals, which, if they are handled incorrectly, can cause negative inflows on nature and human health.
Alston SK, s. r. o. enables the safe handling and disposal of hazardous waste, while ensuring the statutory storage containers and safe disposal.
Copper is one of the oldest metals in use and is found mainly in copper cables, sheets, wires and pipes.
Copper is basically red and orange. But when exposed to air, it oxidizes and becomes dark and brown.
We buy aluminium and bronze tin, which are mostly used for high-load hardware parts such as sliding bearings and guides.
Zinc is the fourth most used metal in the world, with an annual average of about 13 million tonnes per year. It can be used to prevent corrosion in iron, which is why it is often found in gutters and various plates.
Zinc can be recycled completely, so about 30% of global zinc comes from recycled materials.
Our network of suppliers has various manufacturers, dealers and importers of electronic devices. Waste electronic devices contain various parts, such as chips, motherboards and hard drives, which contain several different metals suitable for recycling and reuse.
We trade different types of cables, such as aluminium, copper and ground wires, electrical cables, various cables and windings.
In cable trading, we determine the quality according to the estimated share of pure material obtained after processing.
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. It looks yellowish and looks very similar to gold. It is mainly used for decorative purposes and is indispensable for various musical instruments because of its durability.
Stainless steel (rostfrei, stainless steel) is an iron-based metal, which means that the iron content of it is at least 50%. Because it is corrosion resistant, it is mainly used in products that are exposed to external influences.
Alston SK, s. r. o. buys several types of stainless steel. There are several species of this, so knowing its characteristics is important for classification.
Special metals are obtained by merging two or more metals and non-metals obtained by melting. Alston SK, s. r. o. buys several types of specialty metals at competitive prices.
Lead is a soft, heavy and toxic metal bluish white color that darkes in gray in the air. Because it is corrosion resistant, it is used to protect the hull and in the diving industry. It is also indispensable in the automotive industry; especially in the battery life.
Of all metals, lead has one of the highest recycling rates. As much as 50% of the lead produced today comes from recycled waste materials.
Iron is a metal with an excellent utility-price ratio, making it an indispensable metal in virtually all industries. Iron is the most commonly used metal, which accounts for more than 90% of global production.
Alston SK, s. r. o. buys out the lost iron, which is found in large quantities in wasteful containers, machinery and various iron structures.
