Scrap Metal Buyers should improve Recycling Technologies and Collection System
However, there is still much work to be done in raising the
Scrap metal rates. For example, a U.N. report has pointed out that less than
one-third of 60 metals reviewed have a recovery rate of more than 50 percent.
The report made recommendations to improve recycling rates, including:
- Encouraging Scrap
Metal Buyers & product design that makes disassembly and
material separation easier.
- Improving
waste management and recycling infrastructure for complex end-of-life
products in developing countries and emerging economies.
- In
industrialized countries, addressing the fact that many metal-containing
products are ‘hibernating’ in places likes drawers and closets and others,
such as mobile phones, are all too often ending up in dustbins.
- Scrap
Metal Buyers should improve recycling technologies and collection
systems to keep pace with “ever more complex products created with an
increasingly diverse range of metals and alloys.”
While metal recycling has been a success story, there is
still much more work to be done to ensure that recycling rates improve.
