Scrap metal recycling refers to reprocessing of scrap metals into new products to prevent waste and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials.

Market Dynamics:

The global scrap metal recycling market is driven by the rising demand from construction and automotive industries. Rapid infrastructure growth and remodeling activities have increased the consumption of iron, steel, and aluminum globally which is predominantly met through recycling. Further, significant rise in automobile manufacturing and fleet has led to higher metal scrap generation. Meanwhile, stringent government regulations regarding waste management and sustainability goals to reduce carbon footprint are also pushing scrap metal recycling uptake across industries. However, presence of impurities, high processing costs, and inconsistent scrap supply remain key challenges. On the positive side, advancing sorting and purification technologies are helping recyclers to improve operational efficiencies.
