The benefits of recycling metals.

BENEFITS OF
RECYCLING METAL
Metals are easy to recycle and their processing
can be done at several recycling centers around
the country. Metal retains its value quite well
even after recycling and most metals can be
recycled many times with no change in their
functions. Recycling metals helps protect the
environment, reduces energy consumption and
reduces the waste that ends up in landfills.
Recycling metal requires less energy as compared
to mining new resources. Mentioned below are few
reasons why recycling metal leads to energy
consumption.

SAVINGS
The recycling industry has made a lot of cost
savings by sustaining natural resources and
energy. It helps make a positive impact on the
environment. With each pound of the metal
recycled, the aluminum industry conserves energy
resources that are needed for producing 7.5 watts
of electricity.

CONSERVING RESOURCES
Recycling more metals can help reduce the strain
on limited natural resources. Lesser energy is
consumed for processing recycled metals as
compared to mining ore and shaping it for use.
Recycling metals can actually reduce energy
consumption by 92. The planet has limited
resources and it is important to take steps to
preserve these natural resources.

REDUCE COSTS
Apart from the environmental benefits, recycling
metals also helps businesses reduce cost and
generate revenue. Recycling centers are generally
closer to centers of demand. This means that
businesses have to spend less on transport to
acquire recycled metals. Selling the scrap metal
generated during manufacturing processes can help
businesses generate additional revenue.
