Scrap a car and much more with Bradford Waste Traders

Recycling is one of the biggest balancers of UK trade and without it, there’d be an abundance of end-of-life equipment, like cars, batteries, and home electrical equipment. Precious natural resources would be strained even further and pulled out the ground at an even quicker rate than before to make more metal compounds. Pretty much all metals can be recycled to create new products — the EU states that using recycled steel to create new steel can reduce air pollution by up to 86%, air pollution up to 76% and cut water use by 40%.
What’s good for the environment is usually good for the economy too. The UK is one of the largest steel exporters in the world, since most of the materials they produce are surplus to UK trade requirements. Usually around 90% of Britain’s steel is exported each year. The UK is also one of the leading metal recyclers, with approximately 10 million tonnes processed each year. Bradford Waste Traders is a large contributor to that figure as we continue to help even more businesses meet their green quotas.
