Ferrous scrap consists of materials that contain iron. This category includes materials that are primarily composed of iron, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Ferrous scrap is commonly sourced from old appliances, vehicles, machinery, structural components, and construction materials. It’s widely recycled in the steel industry to produce new steel products. Ferrous scrap recycling helps conserve resources and reduces the environmental impact of steel production.

Structural steel beams and columns, Steel pipes and containers

Non-Ferrous Scrap:Non-ferrous scrap consists of materials that do not contain significant amounts of iron. These materials are often valued for their non-magnetic properties, corrosion resistance, and conductivity. Common non-ferrous metals include aluminum, copper, brass, nickel, lead, and zinc. Non-ferrous scrap is commonly used in industries like electronics, construction, and manufacturing. Recycling non-ferrous scrap is important for resource conservation and reducing the need for primary metal extraction.,; Aluminum cans, Copper wiring and pipes, Brass fittings and fixtures, Electronic components (circuit boards, connectors),Lead-acid batteries, Recycling both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap is crucial for reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and minimizing the energy required for producing new materials. Different recycling processes are used for each category due to their distinct properties and characteristics
