ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
The fact is simple…scrap metal recycling benefits the environment.
Each scrap of metal that is recycled at Canada Iron & Metal is being diverted from landfills in Ontario. Our team carefully sorts every pound of metal into categories for it to be recycled properly. Scrap metal is not waste - it is a commodity that is used to make something new again. As environmental problems persist, it is increasingly more important to choose solutions like scrap metal recycling. Canada Iron & Metal supports businesses and households in our community in making metal recycling a reality. Not only can customers recycle their metal, but they get paid top dollar too!
How Scrap Metal Benefits the Environment:
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
• Recycling metal reduces the harmful emissions from the mining process of natural resources.
• Greenhouse gas emissions can be lowered by 35-96% by using renewable resources provided by the recycled materials industry.
Uses less energy
• Recycling metal uses significantly less energy than mining and refining new metal.
• Using recycled materials as renewable sources in manufacturing reduces energy consumption by 27-95%.
• Recycling alumninum saves 95% of the energy required to produce it from raw materials.
• Recycling steel saves about 60% of the energy needed for production.
Diverting waste from landfills
• Recycling metal keeps it out of landfills and avoids polluting waterways and harming wildlife. In Toronto, where landfill space is at a premium, recycling helps reduce the amount of waste sent to disposal, supporting Toronto’s long term waste management strategy of zero waste.
• Steel is 100% recyclable and can be used indefinitely. Each pound of metal recycled will not end up in the landfill.
Conservation of natural resources
• Recycling helps to reduce the need of mining for new metal, which disrupts our ecosystems. We can play our part in preserve our resources for future generations.
