Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap refers to two categories of metal waste that are collected and recycled. Ferrous scrap includes metals that contain iron, such as steel and cast iron, while non-ferrous scrap includes metals that do not contain iron, such as aluminum, copper, brass, and lead. These materials are sourced from various industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. After collection, they are sorted, cleaned, and processed for reuse in the production of new products. Recycling both ferrous and non-ferrous scrap reduces the need for raw materials, conserves resources, lowers energy consumption, and helps reduce environmental impact.
