KNOW HOW TO RECYCLE STAINLESS STEEL:A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
- Use a tool like Earth911’s online locator to find a recycling center in your area that takes scrap metal. You can also search the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries’ (ISRI) directory of nationally-certified recyclers.
- Contact the facility to check their recycling instructions. Some centers have a minimum requirement for the amount of metal they’ll accept.
- Gather your items and scrap, and sort into ferrous and nonferrous metals. If you can, further separate out the different types of metals, such as stainless steel, lead, aluminum, brass, and copper.
- Separate out any easily-removable components made from other materials such as plastic, and arrange to recycle these separately.
- Be sure to also bring your ID with you – many recycling centers need you to show identification before they’ll accept scrap metal, in order to avoid taking stolen metal for scrap.
- Take the scrap metal to the recycling facility.
OUR IMPACT
It’s estimated that 60% of the stainless steel used in the manufacturing process is recycled, the only reason this isn’t higher is that the demand for old stainless steel far outstrips the supply nowadays.
Only 30% of stainless steel is being recycled, this means 400 millions tons are being recycled annually around the world.
OUR CONTRIBUTION
As a community want to take part in this change, working with stainless steel products, and helping to reduce the consumption of plastic bottles.
We seek to do this by encouraging the use of mugs, making us a family that moves towards a healthy movement and lifestyle, being there for us in our activities and adventures.
