Enviromental Benefits of Metal Recycling

Recycling helps keep metal waste out of landfills where they would they would pollute the soil and water, posing a health hazard to humans and wildlife.  Recycling metals also conserves high amounts of energy. Metals can be recycled and used again and endless number of times, thus resulting in substantial energy savings over the long term.  When aluminum is recycled, 95% less energy is consumed, while recycled iron and steel use 74% less energy and copper uses 85% less energy.

In addition to the energy savings, purchasing and using recycled metal also saves valuable natural resources that would otherwise be removed from the environment. By choosing recycled aluminum products, manufacturers use much less bauxite ore.
