The positive environmental impact of scrap metal recycling

Reducing Waste, Conserving Resources, and Embracing Sustainability: How Scrap Metal Recycling Benefits Our Planet

Waste Reduction and Landfill Diversion

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that iron and steel scrap constitute about 15% of the total weight of municipal solid waste generated in the United States.

Energy Savings and Reduced Emissions

According to the ISRI, recycling aluminum requires about 95% less energy than producing aluminum from raw materials, leading to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Conservation of Natural Resources

Recycling a single aluminum can saves enough energy to power a television for 3 hours or run a 100-watt light bulb for 20 hours. (Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)

Economic Benefits

According to ISRI, the scrap recycling industry in the United States provides over 531,500 direct and indirect jobs and generates over $117 billion in annual economic activity.
