Why Should You Recycle?

Often times, when we talk about recycling items, many small-scale items come to mind — such as loose paper, plastic bottles, etc. However, one of the most critical and significant sectors of the industry is recycling scrap metal. It is vitally important for both the economy and environment, as scrap metal can easily be processed and reused to make new products.

Simply put, metal recycling is the process that involves repeatedly recovering and processing scrap metal from components or end of life products that can be used to form new items, leaving a much lower carbon footprint. The processhelps preserve the earth’s natural resources, and it also makes up an extremely powerful economic activity. There is significantly reduced water waste, air/land/water pollution, production costs, and energy consumption associated with metal recycling. The industry itself is also responsible for the creation of over one million jobs throughout the United States.
