Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals Recycling Solutions Aligned with Indian Government Policies
At The National Recycling Corporation, we specialize in sustainable recycling of ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, helping businesses achieve compliance with India’s environmental regulations while contributing to a circular economy. With the growing emphasis on resource conservation under the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) guidelines, proper segregation and recycling of ferrous metals like iron and steel, alongside non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and zinc, is essential.
Our expert services ensure zero-waste goals, reduce landfill burdens, and support India’s National Mission for Sustainable Habitat. Whether you’re a manufacturer, construction firm, or industrial unit generating scrap, we provide end-to-end solutions to recycle ferrous and non-ferrous metals efficiently, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing material recovery.
Why Partner with Us?
Regulatory Compliance Made Simple
Navigating the complexities of metal waste management can be challenging, but compliance is key to avoiding fines and promoting sustainability. Our tailored programs for ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals recycling align with national standards:
- Adhere to the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, for safe handling and export of scrap metals, ensuring traceability from collection to processing..
Fulfill Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mandates under the Plastic Waste Management Rules (integrated with metal components) and e-Waste Rules, 2022, for electronics containing non-ferrous metals like copper wiring.
Avoid penalties from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) with certified documentation, including waste audit reports and recycling certificates for ferrous metals scrap.
Technology-Driven Solutions
Magnetic Separation Systems: Efficiently isolate ferrous metals (iron, steel) from mixed scrap using advanced magnets, enabling high-purity recycling for rebar and automotive parts.
Eddy Current Separators: Precision sorting for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and lead, ideal for e-waste and construction debris, achieving up to 99% recovery rates.
Shredding and Smelting Partnerships: Collaborate with CPCB-approved smelters to melt down ferrous metals into ingots and refine non-ferrous metals for export or domestic reuse, reducing energy consumption by 95% compared to virgin production.
CSR & Brand Reputation
- Boost CSR scores by contributing to metal recovery initiatives that support Atmanirbhar Bharat’s self-reliance in raw materials.
Elevate brand image through sustainability certifications, showcasing reduced carbon footprints in annual ESG reports to attract eco-conscious investors and customers.
Our Services
We offer comprehensive recycling services for ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, customized for industries like automotive, electronics, and construction:
Ferrous Metals Collection & Processing
Specialized pickup and dismantling for iron, steel, and alloy scraps from manufacturing and demolition sites. Our processes ensure contamination-free sorting, compliant with ISRI (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries) standards adapted for India.
Non-Ferrous Metals Recovery
Targeted extraction of high-value non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc from cables, cans, and machinery. Includes XRF testing for purity verification before processing.
Mixed Metal Waste Management
Integrated solutions for hybrid scraps containing both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including shredding, separation, and baler compaction for efficient transport to recycling mills.
Recycling Audits & Certification
In-depth audits to track metal waste streams, providing MoEFCC-compliant reports and EPR credits to optimize your recycling quotient.
How We Add Value
🌱 From Waste to Wealth: The Metal Recycling Cycle
- Cost Savings: Slash disposal fees by 70% through on-site segregation and sell-back programs for recovered metals.
Resource Efficiency: Conserve natural ores—recycling one ton of steel (ferrous metal) saves 1.1 tons of iron ore and 630 kg of coal.
- Environmental Impact: Lower greenhouse gas emissions by 58% for non-ferrous metals like aluminum, supporting India’s net-zero targets by 2070.
📜 Transparent Process
Initial Assessment: Site visit to evaluate ferrous and non-ferrous metals volumes per SWM Rules, 2016.
Secure Collection: GPS-enabled vehicles for safe, traceable transport of scrap metals.
Advanced Processing: State-of-the-art sorting and melting at authorized facilities.
Reporting & Reuse: Deliver recycling certificates and facilitate material reintegration into supply chains.
Risks of Non-Compliance
Ignoring proper recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals can lead to severe repercussions under Indian law.
Fines up to ₹10 lakhs or imprisonment for violations of Hazardous Waste Rules, including improper dumping of metal scraps.
CPCB directives for site remediation and pollution control failures from untreated metal waste leaching.
Reputational Harm: Public scrutiny and loss of tenders for non-sustainable practices in metal-intensive sector.
