What is Scrap Metal?

Scrap metal refers to metal materials that are left after manufacturing a metal product. On the other hand, metal from damaged metal components is also known as scrap metal. Typically these come from old or broken appliances, vehicles, buildings, or manufacturing processes. It includes both ferrous metals (such as steel and iron) and non-ferrous metals (such as aluminium, copper, and brass).

Scrap metal can often be recycled and repurposed by melting them professionally as part of the disposal process, making them available for manufacturing again. The helps in reducing the need for raw materials and conserving energy. Recycling scrap metal also helps reduce landfill waste and contributes to environmental sustainability by minimising pollution and conserving natural resources.
