Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling

Efficient Recycling for Valuable Non-Ferrous Metals

At Masonry Metals Limited, we offer specialized recycling services for non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, brass, and more. These valuable metals do not contain iron, making them resistant to corrosion and ideal for a variety of industries. Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure that non-ferrous metals are recycled efficiently and responsibly, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce waste.

What Are Non-Ferrous Metals?

Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain significant amounts of iron, and as a result, they are non-magnetic and highly resistant to corrosion. They are commonly used in industries such as electrical engineering, construction, and aerospace due to their strength, conductivity, and lightweight properties. Common types of non-ferrous metals include:

  • Copper: Widely used in electrical wiring and plumbing due to its excellent conductivity and malleability.
  • Aluminum: Known for its lightweight nature and resistance to corrosion, aluminum is used in packaging, transportation, and construction.
  • Brass: A combination of copper and zinc, brass is often used in plumbing and decorative items due to its durability and resistance to tarnishing.
  • Lead: Commonly used in batteries, lead has excellent properties for storing and conducting energy.

Why Recycle Non-Ferrous Metals?

Non-ferrous metals are valuable and often more costly to extract than ferrous metals. Recycling these metals helps to reduce the demand for new mining and preserves essential resources.

 

Recycling non-ferrous metals requires significantly less energy compared to producing new metals from raw materials. For example, recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required for primary aluminum production.

 

Recycling non-ferrous metals reduces greenhouse gas emissions, minimizes the need for mining, and lowers the environmental footprint of metal production. By recycling these metals, we help reduce pollution and protect natural habitats.

 

Why Recycle Non-Ferrous Metals?
  • Electrical and Electronics: We recycle copper wiring, aluminum components, and other non-ferrous metals used in electrical appliances and electronics.
  • Construction and Manufacturing: Non-ferrous metals used in construction materials and manufacturing processes are efficiently recycled and returned to the production cycle.
  • Automotive and Aerospace: Aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals from vehicles and aircraft can be recycled, reducing waste and supporting sustainable industry practices.

Our Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling Process

Collection

We offer convenient collection services for non-ferrous metals from both industrial clients and individuals. Whether you’re recycling copper wiring, aluminum sheets, or lead batteries, we can assist you.

Sorting & Separation

After collection, non-ferrous metals are carefully sorted using advanced equipment to separate different materials. This ensures high-quality recycling and optimal recovery of each metal type.

Processing

The metals are then processed through eco-friendly methods, including melting and refining, to prepare them for reuse in various industries.
