Two-thirds of the aluminum ever produced is still in use today (earth911.com)
All steel cans are 100% recyclable (wasteonline.org.uk)
When you think of metal recycling, aluminum and steel is what generally comes to mind. But regretfully the fact of the matter is that the recycling rates of these 2 metals have been reduced by 20% over the past couple of years. Both aluminum scrap in Dubai and steel scrap in Dubai have a high recycling value. Thus the more these 2 metals are recycled at metal recycling companies like Lucky Recycling, the more money and energy can be saved.
How products are made directly from ores (without recycling):
An ALUMINUM product is made by separating oxygen from aluminum extracted as a mineral. This is done by the application of an electric current that is passed through the metal. The metal is then melted and shaped into the desired product.
STEEL is made in a hot blast furnace with the help of different chemical reaction processes. Through this process oxygen is again separated from the ore. It is melted and then shaped.
Millions of tons of energy are generally utilized if manufacturers were to make aluminum and steel products in this manner. But when you recycle, only 4% of this energy is used in the manufacturing process.
By recycling aluminum and steel:
You can prevent land, water and air pollution.
You can reduce the damages involved in the process of mining ores.
You can also trade in your metal scrap at Dubai scrap yards or at a metal recycling company in Dubai for a good cost.
