Globally, millions of tons of metal are discarded each year, with estimates suggesting around 1.5 billion tons of metal waste is generated annually. A significant portion of this waste comes from industries, construction, and consumer products. Despite the high volume of metal waste, recycling rates for metals like aluminum and steel are relatively high, often exceeding 70%. However, a considerable amount still ends up in landfills, highlighting the need for improved recycling efforts.
