Make recycling a priority
It’s a common misconception that scrap metal is waste when in fact, it’s a valuable resource. Roughly 45% of the world’s annual steel production is sourced from recycled material - over 70% in North America. Recycling steel uses 74% less energy and natural resources than mining virgin materials and reduces CO2 emissions by 58%. The stats are similar for aluminum, copper, stainless and other non-ferrous metals. Industry and manufacturing are the largest suppliers of recyclable metal. Not only is recycling the responsible way to go, but it also puts money back into your business, and that just makes sense!
