Scrap Metals

Metal Recycling – A Valuable Source of Raw Materials

Recycling metal scrap helps preserve valuable and increasingly scarce resources. Metals can be recycled endlessly, and the use of scrap metal directly saves energy and reduces CO2 emissions.

With rising environmental awareness and the growing demand for metals, knowledge about process yield, purity, and material quality is essential for an economical process.
We support you throughout the process with fast, precise analytics and qualified personnel.

Identification of Steel Contaminants Before Use

When using scrap metal, the exact origin is often not fully known. Therefore, it is crucial, especially when using scrap in blast furnaces, to identify any steel contaminants in advance.

Our state-of-the-art analytical instruments help with the precise classification of scrap types, ensuring an optimal workflow.

Our Analytical Capabilities for Scrap Analysis:

  • Spark-OES

  • Combustion Analysis

  • Combustion Analysis

  • ICP-OES

  • ICP-MS

  • XRF

Questions about metal recycling and scrap analysis

What is the recycling rate for metal in Germany?

The recycling rate for metal in Germany is currently over 85 percent.

What is metal recycling?

Metal recycling is particularly important because metals are valuable raw materials and can help to protect the environment. In metal recycling, old metals are processed and reused using modern technology. It is therefore a closed-loop process.

Which metals cannot be recycled?

New processes are constantly being developed to recycle as many metals as possible (even small quantities). Metal mixtures can be problematic if it is not possible to separate the different metals.
