Iron scrap consists of various discarded iron-based materials, such as rusted metal sheets, broken pipes, old engine parts, and machinery fragments. These pieces typically have rough, aged surfaces with visible rust and corrosion, a natural result of exposure to moisture and air. Iron scrap is a key raw material for recycling and reprocessing into new iron and steel products, making it essential for industries like construction, automotive, and heavy machinery production.
Empty, discarded aluminum cans, which are one of the most recycled forms of aluminum scrap.
Sourced from old engine blocks, transmission housings, and castings. It is known for its high strength and is used in automotive and machinery parts.
: This type includes aluminum frames, pipes, and profiles used in windows, doors, and construction materials.
Consists of mixed, unclean aluminum castings, often sourced from engine components and mechanical parts.
These are specific grades of aluminum alloy extrusions that are widely used in the construction and aerospace industries.
These are used, slightly corroded wheels commonly recycled as aluminum scrap. These alloy wheels, featuring a mix of shiny and weathered surfaces, are a valuable source of recyclable material used in various industries.
This is the highest quality copper scrap. It consists of clean, uncoated, and unalloyed copper wires and cables. It is bright and shiny, making it the most valuable form of copper scrap.
This includes clean, uncoated, and unalloyed copper pipes, tubing, and wires. It may have some tarnish or patina but is free from attachments or impurities.
This is copper with slight impurities or coatings, such as paint, solder, or other attachments. It comes from electrical components, pipes, and household items.
These are small shavings, filings, or fine particles of copper generated from machining and manufacturing processes.
This type includes copper mixed with other metals like zinc (to create brass) or tin (to create bronze). It is used in plumbing fixtures, musical instruments, and decorative items.
