Profitable and Good for the Environment

Not only can recycling your scrap metal be profitable for you, but it is also good for the environment. At J.K. Recycling, we have been doing our bit for the environment for 50 years.

There are many good environmental reasons for recycling scrap metal.

• Recycling scrap metal means we deplete fewer of our finite resources, such as iron ore, copper, bauxite, etc. We think of metal recycling as above-ground mining.
• Metal recycling causes less damage to the natural environment than a mine.
• Using scrap metal to create new products creates fewer harmful pollutants than making products from new metal.
• Metal recycling uses waste products that would otherwise find their way into landfills.
• Creating new products from recycled metals requires less energy, generating less carbon pollution than creating metals from ores.
• Recycling metal uses less of our precious water resources and creates less water pollution.
