The significance of scrap recycling in South Africa
Scrap recycling plays a pivotal role in South Africa’s industrial landscape. As a resource-rich nation, South Africa generates substantial quantities of scrap metal from various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive industries. By recycling these materials, we not only conserve natural resources but also reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill waste.
Moreover, scrap recycling contributes significantly to the circular economy, fostering economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship. “My Scrap Matters” aims to raise awareness about this vital industry and promote best practices for a greener, more sustainable future.
The scrap metal industry in South Africa contributes significantly to the economy with an estimated annual worth of R40 billion.
Approximately 3 million tonnes of scrap metal are recycled each year in South Africa.
