Industrial Metal & Scrap Categories

Scrap metal recycling involves the recovery and processing of scrap metal from end-of-life products or structures, so that it can be introduced as a raw material in the production of new goods.

Metal recycling works by collecting scrap, sorting it into ferrous and non-ferrous categories, shredding it, melting it in large furnaces, purifying it, and solidifying it into bars or sheets for reuse.

Non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel yield higher value per pound, while bulk ferrous metals like heavy melting steel and cast iron are also highly valuable in volume.

Scrap metal can be remelted into new alloys, automotive parts, structural steel beams, consumer appliances, liquid metal for foundries, and sustainable industrial packaging.
