Scrap metal recycling has many major benefits for the environment. It helps cut greenhouse gas emissions, saves energy and protects the depletion of our natural resources. Significantly less energy is required to produce steel products from recycled scrap metal than from virgin ore. Most importantly however, scrap metal is a reusable resource! Unlike most other recyclables scrap metals have an almost never ending life cycle, allowing them to be recycled over and over again.
Recycling scrap metals also helps protect our landfills by preventing unwanted metals from ending up in landfills and leaching toxic metal components into the soil.
