Scrap metal such as aluminum, copper, steel and brass can be reused to make many new products. Recycling scrap metal reduces the amount of waste generated and also prevents the need for additional mining to obtain new metals for production purposes. After recycling scrap metal, it can be used for a variety of purposes, both at home and in the manufacturing industry.
Recycling scrap metal for industrial use
Most of the scrap metal processed in the Russian Federation goes to the production of completely new products, such as equipment or building materials. Therefore, centers for the collection of scrap metal are being created everywhere. It is possible to profitably hand over scrap metal in Moscow and the region thanks to the services of the Megalom company, including dismantling and transportation of scrap metal, for more details see http://megalom.rf . Recycling scrap metal will reduce the negative impact on the environment and reduce the cost of manufacturing new products.
Some of the most common products for which scrap metal is used are pipes, metal structures, containers, industrial applications, air ducts, etc.
Packaging
Recycled aluminum is commonly used as new food packaging. Most canned food today contains some percentage of recycled metal, and many are made from 100% recycled materials. In just two months, recycled scrap metal can reappear on shelves as a new container for food or beverages, making the process extremely efficient and economical. In addition, recycled aluminum requires less processing and subsequent greenhouse gas emissions than new aluminum, making packaging with recycled metal more economical and environmentally friendly than cans using new aluminum.
Domestic use
Scrap metal is often recycled into household products such as home furnishings, lighting fixtures and tableware. Metal roofing materials are often made in whole or in part from recycled metals.
