The recycling process for non-ferrous metals

Non-ferrous metal recycling turns end-of-life materials into reusable raw materials. The process typically includes:

Conveyors assist in essential municipal waste management functions, such as:

  • Collection and sorting of non-ferrous scrap metal, such as aluminum cans, copper wire, and stainless steel
  • Shredding or compacting the sorted materials to reduce their size
  • Separating ferrous and non-ferrous metals and removing contaminants using magnetic separators, eddy current separators, and other specialized equipment
  • Melting the clean, sorted materials in furnaces
  • Casting the molten metal into ingots or other shapes for manufacturing
  • Old newspaper (ONP)

By recycling non-ferrous metals, you reduce the need for raw materials, conserve resources, lower emissions, and keep landfills free of toxic waste.
