What is Shredded Steel ?
Shredded Steel (aka Fragmented Steel) is produced by powerful shredding machines, processing large pieces of metal into smaller, more manageable fragments. The shredded scrap metal is subsequently easier to transport and simpler to process, eventually leading to the production of new goods. At its core, metal shredding contributes significantly to resource conservation, so it’s easy to understand how it’s a vital process for various reasons.
The shredding process enhances the efficiency of sorting, separating, and ultimately recycling the metal. The metal fragments become easier to handle, reducing the overall environmental impact of the recycling process. Additionally, shredded metal is more amenable to melting,
