Did you know!!!!
- Magnetic Separation: Because steel is attracted to magnets, it can be easily separated from other recyclables like paper in a recycling facility with magnetic belts. Different kinds of steel do not need to be separated out.
- Detinning: Many steel cans will have a layer of tin on them, which will be removed since tin is recycled on its own. This is usually done by a specialized steel company, such as a steel mill or a scrap dealer.
- Melting: The steel cans, appliances and scrap are placed together in a furnace for the purpose of melting them down. The melted steel is then poured into casters and rolled into flat sheets.
- Reformation: Once the steel is in sheet form, it can be molded into products such as new steel cans, car parts or construction materials. Steel can be recycled infinitely without losing its strength or quality.
