Metals are essential and versatile in many ways. Their applications include industrial purposes like the manufacturer of transportation equipment, including cars, trucks and aeroplanes and the manufacture of domestic items such as cutlery, crockery and packaging.
Metals have impressive metallurgical properties. Among them is the ability for infinite recycling without degrading the properties. Commonly recycled metals include steel, aluminium, silver, copper, brass and gold.
Almost every kind of metal can be recycled multiple times. In recent times, metal recycling has been on the rise as steel mills work to reduce their carbon footprint and also because recycling metal is cheaper than making it from its raw materials.
