pile, and through the scrap processing yard and into the furnace to become new steel

sheets again…Ferrous Processing & Trading has the right answers for handling and

marketing automotive scrap metal throughout each step of the process.

In the United States, steel manufacturing is an integral piece of the automotive

manufacturing industry. Iron and steel scrap is widely used as a raw material for the

production of automotive metal components. In fact, the industry relies greatly upon the

availability of steel and aluminum scrap. These products can be recovered in various

ways, including: automotive junkyards, industrial scrap metal waste, and even household

steel or aluminum scrap metal.

Scrap Metal Recycling Conserves Natural Resources

By using recycled steel and aluminum scrap, automotive manufacturers and their

suppliers are able to conserve raw materials, energy, and miles of landfill space. This is

because the re-melting of steel scrap requires much less energy than producing the same

metal products from raw ore. The metal recycling process also helps reduce the amount

of metal scrap sitting in waste disposal facilities or simply abandoned in various places.

In fact, the steel recycling industry in the U.S. recycles millions of metric tons of steel

scrap metal sourced from steel cans, old vehicles, appliances, construction waste, and

more. Interestingly, the most common source of steel scrap metal is from recycled

automobiles. After processing the automobile, the steel can then be re-used for a new

vehicle, creating a more sustainable product life cycle.
