Ferrous scrap refers to discarded metal materials that contain iron, such as steel, cast iron, and wrought iron. It is commonly sourced from old machinery, vehicles, construction debris, and household appliances. This type of scrap is valuable for recycling due to its abundance and ease of processing. The recycling process involves sorting, cleaning, and melting ferrous scrap to produce new metal products, reducing the need for virgin materials. Recycling ferrous scrap helps conserve natural resources, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes environmental impact. It plays a significant role in promoting sustainability and reducing the amount of waste in landfills.
