It’s more than a company slogan
at Advantage Metals Recycling. It’s what we do to replenish
the nation’s
metal resources, day in, day out.
After metal has outlived its usefulness, it comes to us. We sort it by type and grade. Then we shred it, shear it, torch it or bale it, while handling and processing the scrap according to rigorous environmental and safety standards.
We put the scrap back on the market, selling products through brokers or selling directly to consumers, smelters, mills and mini-mills. From there the process starts all over again.
We think recycled scrap is an important part of the process. Compared to virgin ore, it accounts for 86% less air pollution, 40% less water used, 76% less water pollution, 97% less mining waste, and 105% less consumer waste. Using recycled grade scrap also makes good business sense. It cuts costs, requiring less energy to process. And there’s no noticeable difference in the final product. Or the product after that.
If we didn't do what we do, there would
be more scrap going into landfills, and one less option
for recycled metal goods. We take pride in our contribution.
