Scrap metal recycling is the process of collecting, sorting, and repurposing discarded metal materials into new products. This process involves metals like steel, iron, copper, aluminum, and brass, sourced from old vehicles, appliances, construction debris, and industrial waste. Recycling scrap metal conserves natural resources by reducing the need for mining raw materials and lowers energy consumption compared to traditional metal production methods. It also minimizes waste in landfills and decreases greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key component of environmental sustainability. Additionally, scrap metal recycling supports the economy by providing affordable raw materials for industries and creating job opportunities in collection and processing. This practice benefits individuals, businesses, and the environment, contributing to a circular economy.
