Environmental Benefits

Scrap metal recycling is an integral part of the global manufacturing process because the use of scrap metal lowers the environmental impact of manufacturing raw materials, as well as the total cost of producing new materials. The scrap metal industry serves as a “surface mine” – that is, a plentiful source of metal “above ground” to be utilized to produce new products from old, therefore significantly reducing the need for traditional mining. Recycling scrap metal reduces the amount of harmful materials in our waste stream, provides green jobs for Americans, protects the environment, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and uses less energy than making metal from virgin ore.

Electronic products are made from valuable resources and highly engineered materials, including metals, plastics, and glass, all of which require energy to mine and manufacture them. Reusing and recycling consumer electronics conserves our natural resources. Electronics recycling offers the opportunity to transform old technology into a renewable resource. By reclaiming these materials, E-scrap processors mine these valuable commodities for use in the next generation of electronic products. This conservation strategy also protects the environment by keeping scrap materials out of landfills. This is important because many of these products contain potentially hazardous materials like lead and mercury which must be disposed of safely.

Metal Recycling Center

We Recycle and Process Your Scrap Metal & Electronic Waste
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines recycling as “the separation and collection of materials that otherwise would be considered waste, the processing and remanufacturing of these items into new products, and the use of the recycled products to complete the cycle.”

Scrap Metal Recycling Centers such as H&C Metals and its sister company, Balemet Recycling, function as “surface mines”– the first step in the recycling process for the life cycle of scrap industrial and consumer products, in particular, metal & electronic scrap (E-Scrap). Obsolete, excess, used or damaged products & material such as beverage cans, industrial waste, Steel, Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Auto scrap and CPU Towers are purchased, sorted, prepared & packaged for shipment. Domestic and international consumers of scrap metal, such as smelters, mills & foundries complete the recycling process by melting these materials and manufacturing new products for the global market. Domestic, environmentally responsible E-Scrap recyclers, dismantle post-consumer electronics and the elements contained are reclaimed for manufacturing a variety of new products, including electronics. See the environmental benefits.
