Frequently Asked Questions about Metal Recycling
How does Metal Recycling work?
Metal recycling involves a series of steps to collect, process, and reuse metals. Firstly, metals are sorted based on their type and purity using various technologies such as magnets or sensors. After sorting, the metals are cleaned to remove impurities. Next, they are melted in large furnaces at high temperatures specific to each metal’s melting point. The melted metals are then cast into molds to form raw material called ingots. These ingots undergo further processing to meet specific industrial requirements, and can then be rolled, cut, or shaped into new products. Metal recycling significantly reduces the need for raw material extraction, conserving resources and energy while minimizing environmental impact.
