Increase in Self Storage Facility – An Opportunity for Scrap Material Recyclers

Real estate is a cherished possession, especially in a country like UAE. Self-storage facilities in the country are no exception. More and more residents in the country are opting for renting the storage facilities space. This has made it a booming industry in the country. On an average, 10 square feet space can cost around AED 300 per month (https://www.selfstoredubai.com/en/prices/prices.aspx). 

According to many studies, people rent out these spaces for longer periods of time and use it to store items they do not want to part with. These items, while being locked-in and not used as frequently, holds more value for the owners and the economy – by offering scrap material for recycling; particularly scrap metals. It is a niche that offers a rewarding opportunity for scrap recyclers in the nation. 

So, what makes metal recycling in demand today? There is an ever-growing need for scrap metal. The benefits of scrap metal recycling are well known – it benefits the economy and the environment while conserving the depleting natural resources by reducing the need to mine for virgin metal ores. Not only it is economical, but it is also the need of the hour. 

While mining for metal ores and processing the metals is a time consuming and prolonged process, recycling the already-existing metal is a much simpler, quicker, and smarter alternative. A country like UAE has highly developed and modern infrastructure that is ever growing to keep up with the technology and uses huge amounts of metals in the process. This has in turn helped in increasing the employment in the sector. 

Recycling metals does not only help in creating huge infrastructures and big appliances, it is used in our day to day items like smart phones, window frames, stationary clips, etc. The raw material (recycled metals) costs a fraction compared to using virgin metals in these instances. The metals that are not recycled or not disposed properly end up in landfills. Other than pollution, the toxic chemicals in these metals pose an alarming threat to soil health, wildlife, ground water, and even humans. 

For those with self-storage facilities, it is worthwhile to check the materials stored and segregate the metal components for efficient recycling. Not only does it bring monetary gains, but also the pride and satisfaction in doing their bit in helping the planet.

A strong economy like UAE has a tight housing market – hence, people are settling for self-storage facilities. The market in UAE for self-storage facilities is growing as well as the scrap yards in its major cities, like the scrap yards in Dubai.

Choosing the right recycling company

Need to build a cleaner recycling empire? — Go electric!

Electricity is the new green! Well…No not exactly, electricity has been providing mankind with enough reasons not to pollute since many decades. Imagine moving back to an age of steam and coal; back to an industrial age where black smog covered the air above cities. Now combine that with today’s growing population and results can be pretty disastrous. People would simply be dying with just the air pollution rather than diseases and aging.


Electricity has provided companies today with the greener and cleaner power to do what they do best — guide the world into the next revolution and age. However even though norms are getting tighter and recycling companies do their best to curb pollution; environmental protection measures by recycling metals and others in Dubai, is always never enough.

The new norms and restrictions make it more challenging yet; allow recycling companies in Dubai to come up with newer and more efficient technologies that help reduce emissions even further. Scrap metal recyclers in Dubai barely pollute the environment. They do way with more good than any other industry in Dubai can. But can it be better?

Yes! And that answer lies in using electricity. One way in which recycling companies can go greener is by utilizing greener vehicles for everything. From transport within the massive facilities to transporting goods via land from the scrap yards in Dubaito the metal recycling facilities. Electric vehicles have become a lot more efficient in the past decade; and many manufacturers have begun providing solutions that easily cross out the conventional gas guzzlers which help transport loads from factories to their destinations. They would obviously not match the load capacities of the bigger trailers, but manufacturers who build them are getting there. With payload capacities that begin from 2800kgs to 7400kgs; and with up to 190 kms on a single charge with no fuel expenses, makes for a great way to save the environment no matter what business you’re into.

Have an old car that nobody wants?

So you ended up keeping and maintaining that old car over the years, but now with the new emission norms, it can no longer be driven. That old beauty which you have used down the years has now turned into a beast of burden that nobody wants to buy.
A lot of car lovers get stuck up in such situations where they simply cannot get rid of a vehicle. This can happen over time because they get too outdated or because their maintenance costs increase to a level that they become too expensive to own. Rising fuel costs are not too helpful in such a situation either. The next best thing that one could do is find another owner or let it just lie there in the parking lot getting covered in dust. After a couple of months, such vehicles eventually end up getting scrapped at the junk yards.



What does one do? If you love the environment, the best thing you could do, is to take your vehicle to a car recycler. Car recyclers are not scrap dealers in Dubai! They are a team of mechanics who would disassemble your car completely, in a step-by-step manner and then give you a price for the different parts individually. This helps the environment by not junking the entire car, with all the lubricants, and oils intact, which eventually leak out (including toxic substances from batteries) and damage the environment.
This apart from helping the car owner get better value also helps channel the various metals that can be used and helps them reach scrap metal recyclers in Dubai. Scrap metal traders in Dubai would then segregate the ferrous metal scrap and re-package or melt them into ingots which get delivered to manufacturers; eventually reaching the production line as a new product.

How this helps, is that it prevents the need for virgin materials that are required to build new products. Iron or steel castings and other automotive parts can be made from recycled metals preventing mining and pollution. As we all know, mining does degrade an environment to a level that it simply cannot be restored. So the next time you need to know someone who is about to junk their car, stop them and tell them what they could do and help save the environment.
