| Résumé : |
A huge industry is involved in mining the raw material, smelting it into billets or bars and processing it to create a finished metal product ready for use. Next to “virgin” metal (metal from primary resources, e.g. iron ore), recycled or ‘scrap’ metal is used to create products. Whilst the use of recycled metals saves a lot of energy and processes compared to virgin metals production, the use of virgin metal is still a necessity. This is due to the demand of metal products exceeding the supply of scrap, and because desired composition of metal products is achieved by diluting recycled metal with virgin material. Moving toward using 100% recycled, healthy metals for products will require a more symbiotic and collaborative approach from all players within the fi
In this report, the challenges of the metals recycling industry moving towards a circular economy are detailed. Both mechanical and health related issues must be dealt with, if the industry is to move to 100% recyclable and/or more recycled products and materials.
This is a publication of the European project “Buildings as Material Banks” (BAMB, 9/2015-2/2019, www.bamb2020.eu) coordinated by Brussels Environment, which received funding from the EU Horizon 2020 research & innovation programme.
