Why Recycle Scrap Metal?

The Australian scrap metal recycling industry represents a significant economic sector, currently valued at approximately USD 4.6 billion with steady growth at an annualized rate of 1% over recent years. [3] Metal recycling plays a crucial role in our national sustainability efforts, with Australia recycling about 4,794 kilotonnes (kt) out of 5,708 kt of metal waste in 2020-21, achieving an impressive 84% recycling rate.

By choosing to recycle materials like brass scrap metal, iron scrap, and steel scrap, you're not only earning money but also contributing to environmental conservation. Metal recycling requires significantly less energy than producing new metals from raw materials, reducing carbon emissions and mining impacts across the country.
