KING GEORGE, Va., March 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Free Flow, Inc. (OTCPK: FFLO) announces that its subsidiary Motors & Metals, Inc. received a “Letter-of- Intent” for a contract valued at over twelve million dollars ($12,000,000). The terms call for the purchases for metal that include HMS # 1 and 2, and shredded automobile scrap.
“We are pleased to be selected for this size of contract,” stated Free Flow CEO Sabir Saleem.
As part of Free Flow’s 2019 initiatives, the Company plans to expand its existing auto crushing operation to include shredding which will be located on its 20 acre owned recycling facility located in King George, Virginia. By shredding into relatively small pieces, the steel can easily be separated out magnetically. The non-ferrous waste stream requires other techniques to sort.
According to research conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, recycling scrap metals can be quite beneficial to the environment. Using recycled scrap metal in place of virgin iron ore can yield the following:
- 75% savings in energy.
- 90% savings in raw materials used.
- 86% reduction in air pollution.
- 40% reduction in water use.
- 76% reduction in water pollution.
- 97% reduction in mining wastes.
Every ton of new steel made from scrap steel saves:
- 1,115 kg of iron ore.
- 625 kg of coal.
- 53 kg of limestone.
Energy savings from other metals include:
- Aluminum savings of 95% energy.
- Copper savings of 85% energy.
- Lead savings of 65% energy.
- Zinc savings of 60% energy.
The metal recycling industry encompasses a wide range of metals, with the most frequently recycled metals being scrap steel, iron (ISS), lead, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and zinc., The two main categorize of metals, ferrous and non-ferrous contain iron (ferrous) and without iron (non-ferrous). Ferrous metals contain an appreciable percentage of iron, and with the addition of carbon and other substances create steel, a ferrous metal, being one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Actively, for more than 150 years, the steel industry recycles, in large part because it is economically advantageous to do so. Recycling steel cost less than to mine iron ore and manipulate it through the production process to form new steel. Steel does not lose any of its inherent physical properties during the recycling process, and drastically reduces energy and material requirements compared with refinement from iron ore. The energy saved by recycling reduces the annual energy consumption of the industry by about 75%, which is enough to power eighteen million homes for one year.
