Ferrous Metals

Scrap iron, cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel are all common ferrous metals.

The majority of ferrous metals are alloys, which are made up of two or more metals.

Ferrous metals, for example, are utilized in architectural and industrial fabrication for ships, vehicles, bridges, trains, and skyscraper steel beams.

Examples of ferrous metals are:

•  Steel: In construction and industrial metal fabrication, iron and carbon are commonly used.
• Carbon steel: Iron has been given a higher carbon content, making it a very hard metal.
• Stainless steel: The addition of chromium to an alloy steel makes it rust-resistant.
• Other alloy steels: Chromium, nickel, and titanium are light metals that can be used to reinforce other metals without adding weight.
• Cast iron: Iron, carbon, and silicon are heavy, hard metals that resist wear.

Non Ferrous Metals

Aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, and tin are non-ferrous metals, as are precious metals like gold and silver.

Their main advantage over ferrous materials is their malleability.

They are also iron-free, making them perfect for gutters, liquid pipelines, roofing, and outdoor signs.

They are non-magnetic, which is important for many electronic and wiring applications.

Examples of Non Ferrous Metals are:

• Aluminum: Lightweight, low-strength, easily shaped.
• Copper: High electrical conductivity and malleability.
• Zinc: Medium-strength metal with low melting point widely used in galvanizing to prevent rust on iron or steel.
• Lead: Heavy, soft, malleable metal; low melting point, low strength
• Tin: A soft, malleable metal with a low tensile strength that is frequently used to coat steel in order to avoid corrosion.

Paper Recycling

Paper recycling is about making a difference – in our environment, in our economy, and in the way we handle waste.

The environmental impact of manufactured materials is considerably reduced when they are recycled.

What can be recycled?

• Magazines and brochures.
• Newspapers
• Office and shredded paper, envelopes
• Cardboard boxes of any kind .
• Old telephone directories and books
• Envelopes
• Paper giftwrap
• Milk, beverage and food cartons (liquid board packaging)
• Paper cups

Recycling of Plastics

We are surrounded by plastic. We see and use plastic all the time, from cold drink bottles to grocery bags.

Plastic can pollute the environment and produce garbage.

Humans and the environment may be endangered as a result of these impacts. Furthermore, if plastic is not properly managed, creating new ones might be a waste of resources.

To avoid waste, it is therefore reasonable to reuse and reprocess plastic.

Plastic recycling is the method of gathering waste plastic and reconverting them to new and useful plastic products.

Plastic recycling guarantees that this enormous volume of plastic is not thrown away. You can instead reprocess the resources to create new products.

Types of Plastic products

• Cold drink bottles
• Mineral water bottles
• Milk bottles
• Sauce bottles
• Plastic furniture, buckets
• Clear plastic bags
• Mixed plastic bags
• Shrink wrap
• Polypropylene
• Bottle caps
