Frequently Asked Questions
Why is recycling metals important?
Recycling metals is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps preserve our limited and dwindling metal resources. Additionally, it plays a role in minimising global warming because the recycling process emits fewer carbon dioxide emissions compared to mining and processing new metals. Furthermore, for businesses, recycling metals can reduce the landfill tax they have to pay, as recycling waste metal avoids these expenses.
Is steel recyclable?
Yes, steel is 100% recyclable and stands as one of the most commonly recycled metals worldwide. It can be repeatedly reused for various purposes, including building materials and other products. Approximately 40% of steel production uses recycled scrap, and recycling steel can be done multiple times without a loss in quality.
How is steel recycled?
The process of recycling steel begins with collecting scrap steel and transporting it to a recycling plant, mill, or foundry. There, it undergoes sorting and inspection to ensure there are no contaminants present. Subsequently, the steel is melted down at temperatures exceeding 1,500°C and purified to eliminate any remaining contaminants. Finally, it solidifies into new steel, ready for use in a wide range of products.
Can you dispose of metal in general waste?
Some types of metal waste can be placed in general waste, particularly those that are challenging to recycle due to their composition. Examples include items like hole punches and pots and pans, which may contain non-metal materials. As a general rule, if an item is made of less than 50% metal, recycling it may not be feasible.
Always verify whether metal waste can be recycled before discarding it with general waste. Common products like beverage cans, typically composed entirely of metal, should always be recycled.
