Waste disposal is becoming more and more common in our society as landfills everywhere are loaded to capacity. Scrap metal is a prime example of a win-win recycling situation. We and Mother Earth all benefit when old metal waste gets a second life.
Scrap metal is a valuable resource because of its potential uses. Therefore, Kievpromtrans carries out processing and acceptance of scrap kiev obolon , providing an opportunity to hand over scrap of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for money. Recycling scrap metal reduces the depletion of natural resources and reduces production costs for smelting steel and other alloys, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Scrap metal transportation
Since scrap metal is very heavy, it often needs to be removed in large quantities. This is where the Kievpromtrans team comes in, providing transportation, loading and unloading services to prepare scrap metal for further processing.
Types of scrap metal
For the most part, scrap metal is divided into two categories, ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous scrap contains iron. Because iron is magnetic, attraction to magnets is commonly used to identify iron alloys. The name nonferrous refers to any metal that does not contain iron. This category mainly includes alloys based on aluminum and copper. These materials are non-magnetic, corrosion resistant and, most importantly, they are harder to separate.
Steel is the most recycled material on the planet, more than all other materials combined. Steel's remarkable metallurgical properties allow it to be continuously processed without degradation in performance from one product to the next.
Environmental benefits
Globally, it is estimated that more than half of the steels used in foundries are recycled scrap. Recycling steel requires 56% less energy than making steel from iron ore and reduces CO2 emissions by up to 58%. Refining also reduces the need to extract primary ore.
