Do you recycle aluminum and steel separately?

Yes, we do. Aluminum and steel are separated during the recycling process to maximize recovery value and ensure that each metal is reused appropriately. After a vehicle is dismantled, the remaining shell is crushed and sent through a shredding and sorting process that uses magnetic and eddy current technology to distinguish between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Steel, which is magnetic, is separated first and sent to steel mills to be melted down and reformed into new construction materials, automotive panels, and other industrial products. Aluminum, which is lighter and non-magnetic, is diverted to facilities that specialize in smelting and refining non-ferrous metals.

Keeping these metals separate is essential because aluminum and steel have different melting points and recycling processes. By handling them individually, we maintain high material purity and ensure that both streams achieve maximum value and efficiency.

This careful sorting reflects our broader commitment to responsible recycling — nothing is mixed, wasted, or handled carelessly. Each material is processed according to its best environmental and economic use.
