We have a massive pollution problem when it comes to plastics, but we already have all the solutions! We just need to wake up and change from a take-make-waste approach to a circular model that eliminates waste.

With rampant industrialization around the world came a unique set of problems, with the most notable ones being the wastage of resources and environmental damage. To counteract this, the idea of recycling was devised, and it proved to be highly effective, especially in the case of metals and alloys. This is why alloy recycling is a widely accepted industrial practice today. However, if you run a small company and are unsure about its benefits, then these 3 reasons ought to convince you. It is common knowledge that it is cheaper to recycle metals and alloys rather than sourcing them from scratch, for it involves mining and a plethora of industrial processes that use valuable resources. Not only is it cheaper to recycle, but it also indirectly saves a lot of precious natural resources such as coal that is otherwise utilized in making the virgin metal and its alloys. Ultimately, as the cost of production of recycled alloys is lower, it also sells cheaper, providing you with quality raw material at a low price. Consequently, it will save a lot of capital for your business which is otherwise dedicated to purchasing raw materials.
The EU’s Circular Economy Package is a landmark in creating a more resource-efficient economy. It paves the way to capitalising on Europe’s urban mine, where valuable metals can be recycled from cars, buildings, packaging, e-waste and other applications. €4.3bn Base metals scrap leaves Europe annually 2/3 EU e-waste is not recycled properly.
