Scrap

Scrap refers to recyclable materials that are left over from manufacturing, consumption, or construction processes. Unlike waste, scrap has monetary value because it can be collected, processed, and reused in various industries.

The steel, automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries heavily rely on scrap as a cost-effective and eco-friendly raw material. Using recycled scrap lowers production costs and reduces energy consumption compared to processing raw ores.

Scrap plays a vital role in the circular economy, where materials are reused instead of being discarded. By recycling scrap, industries reduce their dependence on virgin raw materials and help in conserving the earth’s natural resources.
