Titanium features comparable strength to steel but with a much lower density. It is used in many applications that require high protective qualities while being as lightweight as possible including metal frames and engines for aircraft and automobiles as well as circuit boards and biomedical equipment that are used in extreme conditions and environments.
Although very abundant, being the fourth most available metal and ninth most abundant of all elements on the Earth, it is very expensive to produce and often bad for the environment. The ore is chemically extracted and turned into ingots while producing large amounts of waste. As one of the most durable metallic elements in the world, producing usable titanium also requires a lot of energy from manufacturers. In order to reduce costs for titanium produces, businesses have been working on initiatives to close the loop on titanium scrap.
Today with many businesses working with titanium supply chains and waste management companies, the effort to recycle titanium scrap is a top priority in the industry. In many cases, incentives to recycle this alloy is prepared by public and private companies to ensure the result of closing the titanium loop. As we increase the recycling efforts of titanium, industrial and consumer products alike will potentially become more affordable and widely available in the future, driving further development of titanium-based products while lowering costs for businesses and consumers.
