Brass Recycling Process with Scrap Mart

premier • October 25, 2021

Globally the metal business relies on recycling. However, making new brass from copper and zinc would be expensive and disastrous for the environment. Therefore, recycling brass is not only healthy for the economy but the planet. Brass can be used over and over without losing its strength or physical properties in the recycling system. Metal recycling companies like Scrap Mart have innovated to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible while recycling this valuable material. This guide will take you through the brass recycling process and explain why you should use Scrap Mart to recycle metal.

The brass recycling process

The brass recycling process has been simplified over the years into six steps:

  • Collection:  The metal is collected and sorted by type of metal.
  • Processing:  The metal is crushed and pulverized to make it easier to melt.
  • Melting:  The metal is melted so that it loses its original shape.
  • Decontamination:  Trace elements are removed, ensuring the purity of the product.
  • Hardening:  The metal is cooled so that it can harden again.
  • Transport:  The metal is moved to where it is needed.
