Have you ever wondered what happens to your scrap metal when you drop it off to Marsden Metals or they collect it from your business or farm?
Metals are valued commodities which trade internationally and are one of New Zealand’s little known export income producers. The New Zealand scrap metal industry recycles over 900,000 tonnes of metal in service of communities across NZ. However, it is not just sheer amount of recycle material that is interesting; it’s the environment-saving potential. Simply recycling your scrap metals and batteries can have a huge impact on the environment.
One of the core roles of the scrap metal recycling industry is enabling the consistent recycling of a vast amount of waste products. Whether they stem from a commercial site cleanup, construction site, or building demolition, there are plenty of valuable materials saved from being sent to the dump by Marsden Metals and Waste.
Reusing valuable metal lowers the need for further extraction, refinement, processing, and transport of precious raw materials from earth. Without the scrap metal industry in New Zealand, those 900,000 tonnes of metal would have gone to landfill and not been reused to create new materials.
