For any scrapper, possession of copper is as good as holding gold. Copper is obviously way cheaper than gold, however its mining process makes it a valuable metal. In the scrap metal  industry and in our everyday life very few metals match the value of  copper when recycled.

Copper is always booming

Will the metal recycling business be able to pick up the pace once again after the pandemic?

Recycled metals are used extensively in all shapes, sizes and forms across various industries. Recycling of scrap metals is a sustainable option in comparison to mining from natural resources. Moreover, use of recycled metals is more economical and also cuts down waste generation. These factors have given impetus to the metal recycling companies in Dubai and worldwide. 

Metal recycling markets across the globe is valued at US$365.3 billion in 2020 and estimated to grow to $579.3 billion by 2027. (https://www.globenewswire.com/fr/news-release/2020/08/17/2079257/0/en/579-3-Billion-Worldwide-Metal-Recycling-Industry-to-2027-Impact-of-COVID-19-on-the-Market.html). The prospects for metal recycling companies in UAE appear to be positive while this sector is projected to grow at the CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 6.8% globally between 2020 and 2027. (https://www.globenewswire.com/fr/news-release/2020/08/17/2079257/0/en/579-3-Billion-Worldwide-Metal-Recycling-Industry-to-2027-Impact-of-COVID-19-on-the-Market.html )

However, as the COVID 19 pandemic has hit economic activities globally, thus metal recycling companies have been affected too. The pandemic and ensuing lockdown restrictions have disrupted the supply chain and hampered the collection of scrap metals and its availability in the market. Further, industrial units including automotive and construction industries have either slowed-down or halted their activities. This implied low generation of scrap metals from such sectors and hence low supplies to Dubai scrap yards and across the UAE.

While the recycling process slackened, the demand for the end product also went down. Since factories were shutting down or restricting their activities due to COVID 19, the demand for the recycled metals also saw a dip. This prolonged low demand with scarce purchasers can also lead to accumulation in inventory, where the larger quantity of product outpaces the number of buyers.  

Steel scrap is highly valued in the market. Although steel mills reduced the size of output, scrap prices witnessed a rise in its price in May because scrap collection substantially plummeted. To counter the impending scarcity of the valuable ferrous scrap in Dubai and elsewhere in the UAE, Ministry of Economy imposed ban on the export of ferrous scrap within four months starting May 15th.  (https://metallurgprom.org/en/main/4192-obedinennye-arabskie-jemiraty-zapretili-vyvoz-metalloloma-iz-strany-s-15-maja.html#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20order%20of,in%20a%20pandemic%20Covid%2D19)

The current challenges in the metal recycling companies can be overcome with strategic policies aimed at boosting the metal recycling sector. Updated and shock resilient policies could help smoothen the supply chain from both ends. Metal scrap companies in Dubai have the potential to grow in near future. The needs for recycled scrap metals are projected to grow manifolds in industries such as automotive, construction and housewares. 

Once the pandemic has subsided and contained, metal recycling business will be able to pick up the pace and tackle any economic slow-down. Aluminum, steel and copper scrap will retain its value in the recycling markets of the UAE for the need for these recycled metals are unending.

GOOD NEWS FOR BEGINNERS STUDENT’S KNOWLEDGE OF SCRAP METALS RECYCLING

If you are student and want to have basic knowledge of scrap metals and it’s recycling then you don’t need to be a metallurgist, only you need to know the common metals which are used for re-purposing scrap metals into new products. Recycling companies in UAE, in collaboration with Scrap metals yards in Dubai, offers a wide range of technical and identification methods to segregate different types of metals fast.  

But on the other hand scrap metals knowledge with little expertise may help you in getting additional pocket money and will also save your time if it has been properly segregated before delivering to Metal recycling companies in Dubai.

But the question is how it is possible?

Do you know in scrap who is your best friend?  A “magnet”. An important tool which helps you in distinguishing between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Now before learning how we can use the magnet for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, it is very important to understand the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

What is a ferrous metal?

Steel and Iron both come under this category available in hangers, washing machines and other household items.

What is a non-ferrous metal?

Other than steel and iron most other metals are non-ferrous like very common metals such as aluminium and copper found in electrical wires and window frames.

How we can use the magnet to identify which metal is ferrous or non-ferrous?

• If the magnet sticks, you have a ferrous metal.
• If the magnet doesn’t stick, you have a nonferrous metal.

So, if you don’t have magnets buy a small one and attached with your keychain, so it may not be misplaced.

If you want to know the value of scrap metals collected in-house or at schools, Dubai scrap yards will decide how much they will pay you for whatever type of metal you bring.

Safety is our first priority, so if you handle scrap metals, handle with care by wearing protective gloves because most of the metals have sharp edges or other contamination which may affect your health and safety.
