Scrap Types That We Purchase

Recyclable scraps are materials that can be transformed into core materials to reuse for production. Aluminum scrap and ferrous scrap are the most common examples of these.

Non-recyclable scraps are the ones that we can't use again anywhere even if we process them. For example, medical waste such as syringe are impossible to use again and should be destroyed carefully in order not to harm the environment.

We know that the word scrap refers to products that have completed their useful life and cannot be used again. But this is not true. When we say scrap, many products come to mind. We all know junkies. They are a kind of small shopkeepers who travel around the neighborhood with their cars. But today, the scrap industry is very developed and has become a major profession.

In the globalizing world, problems such as environmental pollution have emerged, especially with the proliferation of waste materials. In addition to this, our world is faced with many dangers with the difficulty of reaching raw materials and the depletion of natural resources. And the natural balance began to deteriorate. In fact, scrapping is a sector that emerged with the aim of preventing the deterioration of the natural balance. Scrapping, which is one of the most important steps of recycling, even the first step, is a very important profession for a sustainable and livable world. Therefore, we can use the word scrap for products that have reached the end of their useful life but are processed for reuse.

For example, ferrous scrap is the type of scrap that comes out the most from old buildings that are destroyed as urban transformation projects increase. Iron is a difficult mineral to extract and can make a country dependent on foreign sources as raw materials. Therefore, recycling iron scrap is very important. After the building is demolished, the separated iron scraps are sent for recycling and made ready for use as raw materials again.

In this way, the demand for iron raw materials in the country decreases, and a great benefit is provided to the country's economy. In addition, energy savings will be achieved as iron production will also decrease. As you can see, recycling is an indispensable process for us to have a sustainable world.

What are the Scrap Types?

Scrap types are also diversified according to the material needed. When it comes to scrap types, many scraps come to mind. We can list them as follows ;

1. Aluminum Scrap
2. Copper Scrap
3. Zinc Scrap
4. Ferrous Scrap
5. Waste Paper Scrap
6. Chrome Scrap
7. Lead Scrap
8. Yellow Brass Scrap
9. Soda Can
10. Battery
11. Cable Scrap

As you can see, it is possible to recycle any product that we want to reuse. For example, paper scrap is one of the materials that we need to recycle the most today. As you all know, trees are our lungs and we cannot breathe without trees. Tons of trees are cut and processed every day for paper production. Cutting down trees means a much faster disruption of the natural order. That's why paper recycling is so important.

So what are the scrap types and how are they classified?

Scrap Types Classification

Scrap types are classified according to their physical properties. The most important condition in the classification of scrap according to its physical properties is the size of the scrap, the alloy ratio, and the density of the substance in it. Countries and communities such as the USA, EU, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) are the communities that use this classification the most and dominate the scrap sector.

All the scrap types we mentioned above are known as recyclable scrap types. We can now change the definition of scrap types for products that have reached the end of their useful life but are processed to be reused. For example, iron scrap is the type of scrap that comes out the most from demolished old buildings as urban transformation projects increase. Iron is a difficult mineral to extract and can make a country dependent on foreign sources as raw materials. Therefore, recycling iron scrap is very important. After the building is demolished, the separated iron scraps are sent for recycling and made ready for use as raw materials again.

In this way, the demand for iron raw materials in the country decreases, and a great benefit is provided to the country's economy.

In addition, energy savings will be achieved as iron production will also decrease. As you can see, recycling is an indispensable process for us to have a sustainable world. With scrap recycling, for example, paper recycling prevents the cutting of many trees and makes it easier for us to breathe. In addition, the metal used for a vehicle, for example, before being scrapped, can be recycled after being used to produce white goods. There is no restriction at this point in scrap recycling.

NOTE: The higher the recycling rate of scrap, the higher its value. For example, since aluminum is a 100% recyclable metal, aluminum scrap is very valuable and aluminum scrap prices are determined accordingly.

For example, every material of a scrapped car is inspected and every recyclable part is sent for recycling. There are different types of scrap, such as 700 kg of steel scrap, 8 kg of scrap copper and nickel, and 25 kg of aluminum, in a 1000 kg car scrap. In addition, there is also a certain amount of non-recyclable scrap. However, as you can see here, car scrap, where metal scrap is abundant, is a very important area for the scrap industry.

Which Products Are Included in the Scope of Scrap Paper?

There are many types of scrap paper. Every product you can think of produced from paper can be used for paper recycling. All products such as paper cups, cardboard cups, napkins, cardboard, parcels, A4 white papers, scrap used books, Bristol paper, newspapers, magazines can be used as paper scraps and can be recycled and reused as paper.

Iron – Steel Scrap

The most abundant substance in steel is iron. Since iron cannot be found in nature alone, that is, in pure form, it combines with carbon to form steel. There is also iron scrap in the iron used in steel production. This process ensures that the iron adheres to the steel better and a higher quality product is produced. Iron and steel scrap from areas such as cars, machinery, steel construction structures, and factories is very valuable.

Copper Scrap / Yellow Scrap

It is the other most used and recycled scrap type. For example, copper scrap is frequently used in the production of kitchenware. Copper is a very precious metal and its recycling is very important in terms of natural balance. Production of copper raw material is much more difficult than recycling. Therefore, recycling the used copper and bringing it into production is important both for the country's economy and an important step for a sustainable world.

Yellow scrap is a type of scrap obtained from copper scrap and is very valuable. Therefore, yellow scrap prices are determined in conjunction with copper scrap prices. Yellow scrap is often found in scraps of products such as faucets, door handles, water valves.

Tin Can Scrap

Among the scrap types, one of the most used and recycled scraps is beverage cans. Every day, tons of tin can scrap is thrown out and thrown away.
