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.
Each year, approximately 500 million metric tons of metal are recycled globally. This includes a variety of metals such as aluminum, steel, copper, and more. Recycling metal conserves natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and saves energy compared to producing new metal from ore. Efforts to increase metal recycling continue to grow as sustainability becomes more critical.
