Huge environmental benefitsMetal recycling saves 551 million tonnes CO2
equivalent to:
• 1.8 % of all fossil fuel emissions*
• 65% emissions from aircraft
Increasing recycled content from 40%-50%would be equivalent to:
• 15% cut in aircraft emissions
*metal and paper, according to BIR/Imperial College (2010)
High quality metal from scrapElectric Arc Furnace steelmaking- 95-100% scrap metal- tool steels, engine blocks, construction materials
Foundries- Up to 100% scrap- statues to oil rig castings
BOF steelmaking (blast furnace sites)- 10-20% scrap metal
UK METALS RECYCLING- major contribution to European ‘end of life’ targets
• End of Life Vehicles : 75% car is metal 2 million cars , more than any other European country 85% of a car is recycled into secondary raw material
• Packaging : 2-5 billion cans every year
• WEEE : 8m fridges, washing m/cs, electronics
• Batteries : 98% lead acid batteries recycled
• Construction materials
UK METALS RECYCLING- established trading industry
• £5.6 billion annual turnover*
• 13 million tonnes of metal recycled*
• > 70% exported
• traded on the London Metal Exchange
• internationally recognised specifications
EU27 used 96 Million Tonnes of Iron & Steel scrap in 2010
EU27 exported 19 Million Tonnes of Iron & Steel scrap in 2010
EU 27 imported 3.6 Million Tonnes of Iron & Steel scrap in 2010
