Metals make up 3% of Canada's national waste.
For a material with endless recycling possibilities, a lot of metal waste ends up in landfills across the country or improperly disposed of in our environment. And on the other hand, mining and processing virgin materials creates significantly more pollution than the recycling process.
Metal is non-degradable. When metal waste reaches the landfill, it takes up a lot of space and contributes to the destruction of natural habitats. But when it's recycled, it contributes too a circular economy and allows for the conservation of natural materials.
Here at Waste Logic, we strive to help our clients uncover practical ways to increase their sustainability. We'll source a service provider that will recycle your metal waste so it can support the production of new products with a smaller carbon footprint. Plus, since a lot of metals have monetary value, we'll look into rebate programs that could put money back in your pocket.
Let’s talk about how we can help you achieve your waste disposal and recycling sustainability goals. Call us today.
