Non-Ferrous Metals

Non-ferrous scrap comes from various sources including electronic devices, wires, containers, car batteries, radiators, and aluminum batteries. The economic value of non-ferrous metals is significant - according to recent data, the US recovered over 9.2 million metric tons worth $34 billion.

These materials are highly valued for their properties - they are malleable, lightweight, and do not contain iron, making them resistant to rust and corrosion. The importance of non-ferrous materials in modern industry cannot be overstated, as they are essential for electrical conductivity, thermal resistance, and various specialized applications.
