5 reasons why recycling metals is cheaper than buying new material
Metal recycling has become one of the most efficient ways to reduce costs and promote the circular economy in Mallorca. Beyond the environmental impact, choosing recycled materials can mean significant savings for both businesses and individuals. At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we work every day to make this process fast, safe and profitable.
1. Lower energy consumption = lower prices
Manufacturing metal from virgin ore requires extraction, transport and high-energy processes. In contrast, recycling steel can reduce this consumption by up to 70%, which translates into a much more competitive final cost. At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we work with existing metals, which allows us to offer more stable and affordable prices.
2. Greater stability against market rises
Virgin metals depend on unpredictable factors such as mineral availability, international tensions, and logistics costs. Recycled material, on the other hand, avoids most of these fluctuations and maintains more consistent prices. For those who work with metal on a regular basis, this difference is key.
3. Reduced logistics costs
Extracting, transporting and processing minerals is a costly cycle. In recycling, the material is already ‘at hand’: it is collected, separated and prepared for reuse. This shorter process means lower transport costs and fewer intermediaries, which significantly reduces the final price.
4. Less waste and regulatory compliance
Recycling metals reduces emissions, waste and environmental risks. This also means lower costs associated with waste management and potential penalties for non-compliance with regulations. At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we have certified processes that guarantee safety and compliance with current regulations.
5. Reliable material and genuine circular economy
Many metals can be recycled without losing quality, retaining virtually all their properties. This allows us to work with a reliable, more economical raw material that is in line with the circular economy. At Reciclajes y Metales Pérez, we contribute to continuing this cycle, ensuring that metal returns to the market with all guarantees.
Metal recycling is not only a sustainable action; it is a profitable decision. With efficient processes, stable prices and quality materials, Reciclajes y Metales Pérez is positioned as one of the smartest options for those seeking to optimise costs and reduce environmental impact in Mallorca.
