The Process

The process of recycling metals involves first separating and sorting metal types. From there, the metals move on to processing, which includes crushing large chunks down with compactors and reducing them into smaller pieces by shredding. Then, metals are melted down and compounds are purified using electrolysis. The pure metals can then be used in the fabrication of new parts.
