In the past, the Prostheses Foundation has developed low-price and light-weight prostheses from recycled materials such as plastic from drinking yogurt bottles and aluminum from can rings.
The result of such prostheses is of satisfaction considering that they had light weight and were strong enough to carry the weight of amputees. However, some aluminum parts went out of shape when pressured. This is due to the fact that aluminum, solid strong, is not as flexible and tough as other kinds of metal.
With development and progress in terms of science, technology, and especially materials science, the Foundation has developed prosthetic parts using materials that is more durable and provides longer life of prostheses. At present, the metal used to produce prostheses is a combination of aluminum and stainless steel. Therefore, in order to reach the standard combination, donated aluminum will be sold and processed prior to prostheses production.
If you donate aluminum (can rings and/or other aluminum products), you still are a part of our activities, but please bear in mind that some of that aluminum esp. which does not reach standard, will be sold. Money from sold aluminum is purely used for buying materials for prosthetic parts, and for doing research and development of prostheses.
If you are willing to donate the aluminum, please contact and deliver your donations to participating venues below.
