Estimates are that 84% of the iron and steel used in foundries is recycled scrap. Recycling steel requires 56% less energy than producing steel from iron ore, and reduces Co2 emissions by up to 58%. Recycling also reduces the need for mining virgin ore. One of the latest studies by the Institute for Scrap Metal Recycling found that nearly 500,000 jobs have been created by the industry. The economic and environmental benefits of the scrap metal industry are there for all to see, and this is where purchasing quality material handling machines comes into the equation.

Material Handling Machinery

Part of the emergence of the scrap metal industry is due to the demolition of old, worn-out, and tired structures that need upgrading and replacing. Companies have discovered that it is easier to recycle metal structures left over from the production of other products than it is to produce new metals from scratch. This has accelerated the growth of the scrap metal industry. We now find that recycling scrap metals not only saves time and precious natural resources, but it is also better for the environment.
