Advantages of Recycling

Metal Recycling Saves Energy

Recycling scrap metal reduces greenhouse gas emissions and uses less energy than making metal from virgin ore.
The amount of energy saved using various recycled metals compared to virgin ore is up to:

  • 92 % for aluminium
  • 90 % for copper
  • 56 % for steel

Metal Recycling Conserves Natural Resources

Metal recycling also conserves natural resources. Recycling one ton of steel conserves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,400 pounds of coal and 120 pounds of limestone.Recycling a ton of aluminium conserves up to 8 tons of bauxite ore and 14 megawatt hours of electricity.
