Selling scrap metal should be easy.
Did you know...
Steel, aluminum and copper can be recycled again and again without ever degrading. Plastic can only be recycled once or twice before it has to be down-cycled.

According to the World Economic Forum, approximately 85-90% of steel arising from manufacturing processes waste and end-of-life buildings, infrastructure, equipment, vehicles and products is currently recovered as steel scrap to produce new steel. This is still only enough to meet one quarter of global steel demand.
Producing steel from secondary scrap sources uses significantly less energy and produces lower greenhouse gas emissions than mining for ore.

Producing new steel from recycled materials requires 60% less energy and reduces Carbon Dioxide emissions by 58% compared to mining and producing it from virgin materials.

Over the last decade, the world uses an average 26.7 million tons on copper every year. Approximately 32% of this comes from recycled materials.
Recycling complex copper scrap (such as electronic waste) drives the recovery of many other metals such as gold, silver, nickel, lead and zinc.
