The metal from old scooters are made into automobile parts, kitchen sinks, box fans, hardware for doors (locks, hinges) , kitchen utensils and tools.
White and Black Trading have partnered with a metal waste company. It is a local company that has been established for over 18 years in recycling. We melt down all our unwanted old scooter parts.
Metal is an easy waste to recycle and it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its properties. To add, mining and production of new metal leave a huge carbon footprint that can hamper the environment. Recycling metal will keep the price of metal goods down and metal manufacturing costs will be less along with less energy consumption.
The process of metal recycling involves:
- Collection of metals.
- Sorting into different categories.
- Melted down.
- Purification process - to be free of contaminants.
- Heated at high temperatures. Poured, cooled into a cast.
- Molded into metal sheets or bars for manufacturing new products.
Here is a movie enclosed of us taking our scooter parts to the scrap metal waste company.
