Metal recycling is the utilization of scrap material and converting them into reusable metal. It does not alter the properties of the metal. Steel, iron, lead, copper, zinc are the generally recycled metals. The global Metal Recycling Market is due to reach USD 88.5 billion by the end of 2028 at a CAGR of 8.1% over the forecast period of 2022-2028, reveals Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed study.
The pressing need for energy conservation and surging awareness regarding the depletion of natural resources is the prime drive for the growth of the global metal recycling market. Recently, there has been mass awareness regarding the conservation of natural resources. Moreover, recycling of metals requires less energy consumption than procurement of metals from virgin ores.
Heightened demand for beverage cans is a significant growth driver. High consumption of beverages generates considerable demand for metal cans which boosts the growth of the global metal recycling market since they serve as an excellent solution to gratify the market need for cans.
On the downside, the growth of the market might be hindered by a lengthy process of metal selection which involves sorting of looked-for-metals from a huge pile of wastes. In addition, developing countries such as India doesn’t have strict regulations on metal recycling which can restrict the growth of the market in such regions.
