Debunking Myth: Marine Brass Scrap Same As Yellow Brass

Many scrappers don’t know the difference between various scrap metals and therefore sell scrap metal at loss. On the same lines, there are many scrappers who mistake qualities of marine brass similar to yellow brass. I’m here to debunk that myth.

Let’s start with understanding the nature of marine brass first.

What’s marine brass?
Marine brass consists of iron or nickel that makes it stronger, often found on ships and boats. What differentiates marine brass is its hardness that makes it a stronger metal than yellow scrap. Therefore, marine brass is used to make propellers for large boats and ships that strike against the grueling force of waters while navigating.

Where can I find marine brass?
You can find it over the ship’s bottom, also often the anchor has strips of marine brass on it.
Wise tip- Remember that brass is an alloy made from copper and zinc when mixed together. When you add nickel or iron to the mixture, it becomes marine brass. However, do know that this process brings the value of copper down slightly.

Are marine brass items good scrap metals?
Marine brass is a great metal scrap item. However, many think of it as entirely made up of bronze. In reality, marine brass is a different type of alloy. Now go to a scrap metals Doha Recycle Company that is able to determine the item’s authenticity using an analyzer on location to analyze the materials inside. In times of uncertainty, you can upload images on the iScrap Metal Forum and ask for expert customer opinions regarding the type of metal scrap.

What Recycling Measures Malls Can Implement To Manage Waste Reduction?

Mall owners incur huge expenses. How can malls achieve large scale metal scrap recycling and earn some return on investment also preventing colossal waste generation?  We have compiled an assortment of ways a mall can achieve seamless and efficient metal recycling.

Conduct a Waste Audit

Set up a team to assess the mall’s waste stream. Conduct a waste audit. This will reveal the amount of trash being generated and what all materials form the trash. In this way you can separate the metal scraps from other types of scrap and send them for recycling. This will be your first step towards getting a significant return on your investment. For instance, you laid a metal panel framework to display your couture segment. However, it is time to dump the metal scraps after a long use and get it replaced with a new metal framework. Instead of dumping the old metal scrap, you can recycle it to redeem some of the value on your investment.

Reuse Hoardings and Banners

The mall owners should educate their employees on the benefits of reusing hoarding and banners. Instead of throwing them away, nice looking paper or cloth bags can be made using hoardings and banners. Customers can be handed these eco-friendly bags rather than plastic ones thus also contributing to environmental safety.

Promote Recycling

A mall welcomes thousands of footfalls every day. It is therefore an ideal place to also promote recycling benefits to fall upon thousand ears.

Lucky group is a company that actively helps malls meet their Metal Scrap Recycling requirements.
