Explanation:

Mining is invasive. To extract raw materials from the earth, mining companies employ heavy excavators, haul trucks, and men with shovels to dig into the ground. This rabid digging not only destroys the soil, but it also releases toxic compounds, radioactive rocks, metallic dust, and asbestos-like minerals into the air and water.

All for a small concentration of a precious mineral or metal.

The harsh environmental impacts of mining are many. The list includes:

Sinkhole formation

Soil, groundwater, and surface water contamination

Hazardous byproducts including wastewater

Destruction of wildlife habitat

And loss of biodiversity to name a few

Worse…

The impact extends far wider than the mining site itself, and continues decades after the mining activity is done.

On the other hand, shutting down mining can prove devastating, too. It’s a global $496-billion-industry, with the livelihood of millions depending on it. Moreover, sectors around the world – especially high-tech industries – rely on metals and rare earths to survive.

But while banishing mining is impossible, reducing the need for it is within reach. And recycling scrap metal is a step in the right direction. If the world recycles enough scrap metal, the demand for virgin materials will decrease and mining activity will follow.

However, we’re still miles away from that goal.

The Recycling Rates of Metals: A Status Report from International Resource Panel found that the recycling rate for metals is low. On paper, recovering metals over and over again is more than doable. Yet less than 33% of the 60 metals included in the report have over 50% recycling rate, with about another third having less than 1% recycling rate.

Let’s work together and get those numbers up. Later in this guide, you’ll learn how you can get on the metal recycling train using basic gear and know-how.
