Metals are an important material for manufacturing many items used to construct everyday objects on various scales. Like many industries, the electrical sector uses significant amounts to carry out its work. They use it within the equipment and tools they use as well as within applications to power homes and appliances found in any home.

Farming and the agricultural sector require heavy-duty equipment and machinery to carry out necessary strenuous labour. When everyone is looking for a little extra money, if you own a farm and have some old equipment lying around, scrapping it for cash could provide additional funds to purchase newer equipment that may offer more efficient labour.

Recycling metal is vital to the future of the planet. With the limited resources available from mining and the efforts industries are taking to preserve what’s left of the diminishing resources, recycling scrap metal has never been more critical. In fact, nearly 40% of the materials used in manufacturing and the construction trade are recycled steel.

When it comes to recycling metal, it initially gets separated into two categories, ferrous and non ferrous. Being a ferrous metal means the material is made up of a percentage of iron. However, whilst many metals will contain small traces of iron, ferrous metals will have a significant addition of iron to deem it ferrous. At Morecambe Metals, we specialise in ferrous metal recycling and processing.
The scrap metal industry is an imperative component of many manufacturing, construction, and even electrical sectors. Much of the materials used within these industries are recycled from scrap metal at recycling facilities like ours at Morecambe Metals.

The effort to obtain raw materials is a struggle felt worldwide. While the demand for resources is growing, the globe is looking at alternative solutions to provide for manufacturing and construction without diminishing the world’s resources even further. It has been suggested that if the population continues to grow at its current rate, our natural materials could be exhausted within the next 20 years.
