Corrosion-resistant alloys like nickel and stainless steel play vital roles in diverse industries.
Recycling these alloys reduces environmental impact, promotes circular economy principles, and contributes to sustainable metal production practices, aligning with global eco-friendly initiatives.
Advantages
Most nickel-containing materials are fully recyclable at the end of a product's useful life; in fact the high value of nickel encourages this.
Recycling lessens the environmental impact by reducing both the need for virgin raw materials and the use of energy for production. Nickel scrap recycling offers significant environmental benefits by reducing the need for primary nickel extraction, which can involve energy-intensive processes and contribute to environmental degradation.
Applications
It is widely used in the manufacturing of stainless steel, nickel alloys, batteries, electrical components, and speciality materials.
