Made to be recycled
Unique magnetic properties mean that steel is easy to recover from any waste stream by using a magnet.
Steel packaging is put directly into furnaces and melted down to produce new steel, an endless number of times with no loss of quality.
Easy collection
Though separate waste collection is preferred, steel can be easily extracted from any waste stream.
Easy separation
Easy separation, just by using a magnet, means cost-effective sorting of steel from other waste.
Recovery from bottom ash
Even steel that has been incinerated, can be recovered from bottom ash and used again.
EASY AND ECONOMICAL
Steel’s unique magnetic properties are a definite advantage when it comes to extracting from the packaging waste flow.
