Whatever the metal, ore extraction and subsequent processing are extremely resource-intensive practices.

Mining, transport and production technologies all use considerable energy and result in the emission of various air and water pollutants including carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Scrap metal recycling, on the other hand, uses a fraction of the energy and emits much less CO₂. At the same time it saves precious raw materials and means that far less scrap goes into landfill sites.

From every environmental viewpoint, recycling scrap metal makes good sense – which is why we recycle every piece of metal possible.
