What Is Scrap Metal?
Scrap metal refers to any metal material that has reached the end of its intended use but still retains recycling value. Unlike general waste, metals can often be recycled repeatedly without significant loss of quality, making them one of the most sustainable materials available.
Common sources of scrap metal include:
- Construction and demolition projects
- Manufacturing facilities
- Industrial plants
- Warehouses
- Mechanical workshops
- Electrical installations
- Renovation projects
- Residential properties
Instead of disposing of these materials in landfills, scrap metal can be collected, processed, and reintroduced into manufacturing supply chains.
