Recycling facilitates a clean and sustainable environment. However, the ever-growing industrial sector is responsible for most of the metal waste around the world known as scraps. We can reduce the accumulation of waste and encourage a continuous production cycle with the help of recycling. 

From start-ups to corporate giants, each company must ensure scrap and alloy recycling for the safety and well-being of generations to come. Let's check out three alloys that are most commonly recycled.

The 3 most commonly recycled alloys

Steel:
Steel is an alloy of iron and low amounts of carbon. Steel is used in almost every industry due to its tensile strength, malleability and many other features. Increased usage of steel results in a high amount of waste. However, nearly 40% of steel production around the world is recycled. Most of the carbon steel used in the construction of buildings and bridges is recyclable as well.

Aluminum Alloy:
Aluminum alloy is a part of our daily lives. This shiny silvery-white alloy is mostly used by the food and beverage industries for packing. Aluminum alloy is also found in bicycles, trains, ships, airplanes and spacecraft. It is one of the most commonly found alloys in the world. Alloy recycling has to be enforced on aluminum alloy due to its increased use around the globe. 

Brass:
Brass is an alloy that takes a very long time to degrade. Dumping scrap brass into a landfill can be highly dangerous to the environment. Hence, recycling is the best solution when it comes to waste management of scrap brass. Most of the demolition and renovation industry that uses brass tools indulges in recycling scrap brass. It is also one of the finest ways to generate considerable revenue.
