Ferrous Scrap

Refers to recycled metal that contain iron as their main element. This category includes steel and cast iron products recovered from end-of-life vehicles, construction sites, machinery, household appliances, and industrial processes. Unlike non-ferrous metals, ferrous scrap is magnetic and widely used in steelmaking.

Globally, ferrous scrap is the most recycled material, forming the backbone of industries such as construction, automotive, and manufacturing. Recycling ferrous scrap not only reduces the need for mining iron ore but also saves energy and significantly lowers carbon emissions.
