Recycling

Scrap

At Metaldom, we are dedicated to protecting the environment and reducing the improper of materials. That's why, each year we recover nearly 50,000 metric tons of ferrous scrap annually, giving new life to what was once considered waste.

We have a specialized unit for scrap management, which not only contributes to sustainability but also drives job creation through our extensive collection and processing network.

Most of the scrap we recycle comes from items that have reached their end-of-life, such as stoves, refrigerators, automotive parts, construction steel remnants, and industrial waste. These materials are transformed into new steel products to continue contributing value to society. We turn recycling into innovation, caring for our planet while generating opportunities and quality products.
