Environmental Benefits of Scrap Metal Recycling
The importance of recycling scrap metal cannot be overstated, especially in the context of Canada’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions. McSteel’s efforts contribute significantly to this cause, and here’s why recycling scrap metal is crucial for the environment:
1) Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Conserving Energy
The production of new metal demands a substantial amount of energy. At the same time, the recycling process emits less carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. By choosing McSteel for your scrap metal needs, you actively participate in reducing the carbon footprint associated with metal production.
2) Preserving Finite Natural Resources
Metal is a finite natural resource, and recycling becomes imperative to preserve it. A significant percentage of global steel production comprises recycled steel, showcasing the vast potential for further increasing this initiative. McSteel’s commitment to recycling contributes directly to conserving these limited resources.
3) Diverting Waste From Landfills
The decomposition timeline of steel and aluminum in landfills is alarming. Steel can take up to decades to decompose, while aluminum can persist for as long as 80-200 years (source). McSteel Salvage & Cleanup’s recycling services divert these materials from landfills, preventing long-term environmental damage and minimizing the release of toxic substances into the earth.
