Types of Metal Recycling

Ferrous Metal Recycling

Ferrous metals, which contain iron, are known for their strength and durability. These metals are widely used in construction, industrial containers, and large-scale piping. Steel, cast iron, and wrought iron are common examples of ferrous metals.

Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling

Non-ferrous metals, which do not contain iron, are prized for their malleability, lightweight nature, and resistance to rust and corrosion. These qualities make them ideal for applications where strength is required but weight needs to be considered, such as in the aircraft industry.

Key players in the global metal recycling market are ArcelorMittal, Aurubis AG, Commercial Metals Company, Gerdau S.A., Industrial Services of America, Inc., Nucor Corporation, Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., Sims Metal Management Limited and Steel Dynamics, Inc. among others. Recycling of metals requires the usage of scrap metal to turn it into reusable metal without changing its properties. In this, scrap pieces undergo the processes of sorting, processing, melting, purification, and solidification. Most frequently recycled metals include stainless steel, iron, lead, zinc, and copper. The growth of this market is due to rising steel demand and urbanization & industrialization in developing countries. Increasing concern over the rapid depletion of natural resources has also prompted governments in many countries to make favorable rules for the metal recycling sector, which further propels the metal recycling market growth.

The type segment is divided into non-ferrous and ferrous. The ferrous segment held the largest market share of around 57.15% in 2023 because of the massive utilization and recycle rate of the scraps. The equipment type segment includes shredders, shears, granulating machines and briuetting machines. The shredders segment held the largest market share of around 26.86% in 2023 since they are widely used to separate and further reduce the waste to a standard shape and size. The end-use sector segment includes building & construction, automotive, equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding, packaging, consumer appliances and others. The building & construction segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of around 7.11% over the forecast period since the need to reduce the environmental effects of mining metals has promoted the usage of recycled metals in the building & construction sector.
