Recycling is an effective way to reduce environmental pollution. Recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy than primary production. Therefore, there is a high demand for more efficient recovery technologies. Aluminium is used in transportation, consumer products, and electronics. Short life cycles, thin walls, and surface coatings make aluminium recycling difficult. This study focuses on UBCs and coffee capsules' properties and recyclability (CCs). A lab-scale electrical resistance heating chamber furnace was used for the de-coating and remelting experiments. The coatings were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). As a result of the study, it was found that thermal pre-treatment temperature is more critical for alloys that have high Mg content due to their oxidation tendency. Suitable thermal pre-treatment temperature was observed between 520 to 550 °C for the samples. On the other hand, when the volatile organic content of the scraps was analyzed, it was observed that clean UBCs and CCs contain 2.2% and 9% volatile organic content, respectively, but it can be increased with increasing drink rest inside of it. A result of these experiments shows that the metal yield can differ up to 3.5% due to the drink residues (sugar). Also, it was observed that high-density pressing of the samples prior to the de-coating process increases the amount of the entrapped carbonaceous materials and decreases the de-coating efficiency. Finally, it was observed that samples with low wall thicknesses should be remelted under a salt flux to prevent oxidation and allow coalescence.
