Metal Waste and Recycling

Metal Scrap includes ferrous scrap and non- ferrous scrap. Ferrous Metal (Iron) and steel scrap, also referred to as ferrous scrap, comes from end of life products (old or obsolete scrap) as well as scrap generated from the manufacturing process (new, prime or prompt scrap). Obsolete ferrous scrap is recovered from automobiles, steel structures, household appliances, railroad tracks, ships, farm equipment and other sources. Nonferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin, zinc, and others, are among the few materials that do not degrade or lose their chemical or physical properties in the recycling process. As a result, nonferrous metals have the capacity to be recycled an infinite number of times. In the report, the volume mainly covers ferrous scrap (Ferrous Metal (Iron) and steel scrap), aluminum, copper and lead.
