Metal recycling is the process of collecting and processing metal materials to be reused in the production of new products. It involves the recovery of metals from various sources such as scrap from old vehicles, appliances, construction debris, and industrial waste. The recycling process typically includes sorting, cleaning, and melting down metals, which can then be refashioned into new products. Metal recycling helps conserve natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes the environmental impact of mining and waste. It is an essential part of sustainability efforts, as it reduces the need for raw materials and lowers carbon emissions.
