What Is Brass Recycling?
Brass recycling is the process of taking brass and scrap brass materials and reprocessing them. The brass is crushed, heated, melted, and refined into a new material. This new material can then be used for creating fixtures, instruments, building materials, and more. Because brass is infinitely recyclable and recycling brass conserves raw materials and energy, it is an economical and sustainable way to promote a circular economy.
Why Is Brass Recycling Important?
When metals like brass are not recycled, we need to mine new materials to create products. That process is environmentally unfriendly because it requires high energy consumption, releases greenhouse gases, and increases carbon emissions. Recycling brass conserves our finite natural resources like copper and zinc. It is a sustainable way to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact while also ensuring manufacturing industries have the materials they need. Our brass recycling facility provides jobs and economic opportunities for our community, and sustains global manufacturing processes.
Understanding the Brass Recycling Process
The brass recycling process is similar to any other scrap metal recycling process. Each step is completed in our state-of-the-art recycling facility:
- Collection of Scrap – We collect scrap metal from residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
- Sorting and Cleaning — The metal is then sorted and separated by type, then cleaned of contaminants and dirt using chemical cleaning processes.
- Shredding and Preparation – The brass is then shredded or crushed into smaller pieces that are easier to melt.
- Melting and Purifying – These pieces are placed in our furnace and heated to 1700-1900 degrees Fahrenheit until they are molten liquid. This purifies the brass and melts off contaminants like sand and plastic.
- Solidifying and Manufacturing – The molten, purified brass is then solidified and cast into new forms. It is sold to manufacturers, who use it to create new items.
