How does Metal Recycling work?
Metal recycling begins with the collection of metal waste from various sources, including used appliances, packaging, and industrial scraps. The collected metal is then sorted into ferrous and non-ferrous categories, as these require different processing methods. Once sorted, the metals are processed, typically by shredding and melting in a furnace. This process removes impurities and prepares them for forming into new products. The recycled metal can then be used to manufacture new items, reducing the need for raw materials and conserving energy in comparison to the production of metal from virgin ore.
