Why to sort and recycle scrap

Metal scrap disposal is not only about saving environment but to earn money both: for business and everyman. Metal processing business and other companies dealing with metal has to manage with huge amount of metal scrap, which is to be disposed. One of the important points is to collect and recycle correctly.

The ways of metal scrap disposal

Different types of metal scrap should be segregated: brass, copper, aluminum, alloys etc.  Individually collected scrap has higher cost, while scrap mix decreases its value.

Metal scrap and waste may include several types each of which must be recycled in its own way:

  • Metal offcuts or big pieces (all types of metal)
  • Metal shavings and turnings (the smaller particles)
  • Metal powder (the fine fraction)

The first two types may be recycled together (metal scrap should be separated from any foreign inclusions, liquids etc.). Metal powder/dust and other smaller fraction should be collected and recycled apart (drained and separated from any foreign inclusions, liquids etc.)

High purity and uniformity of metal scrap when fabricators provide it to recyclers helps to establish mutually beneficial partnership.
