Recycling for a Greener Future
Recycling waste metals is essential for a sustainable and eco-friendly future. According to the EU, using recycled raw materials, including metals, could cut CO2 emissions by approximately 200 million tonnes every year. At Bradford Waste Traders, we are passionate about reducing waste, and we encourage all our customers and partners to recycle their waste metals.
Approximately 10 million tonnes of scrap metal are recycled in the UK every year, and around 70% of all waste metal from the UK is recycled. Recycling metal requires significantly less energy than producing it from raw materials. For instance, treating recycled aluminum requires approximately 95% less energy, while recycled steel requires roughly 40% less water than producing it with raw materials.
Moreover, many new cars contain roughly 25% recycled steel, and approximately 90% of waste materials acquired from warehouse demolitions are recycled. By recycling waste metals, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and contribute towards a greener future.

We offer a variety of skips for hire, ranging from small to large sizes, to suit all types of projects.
