Other Metals

Lead is primarily used in batteries, radiation shielding, and solders due to its density and malleability.

Zinc is valued for its corrosion resistance and its ability to form alloys, making it ideal for galvanizing steel and manufacturing electronic components.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, known for its ductility and resistance to corrosion, while bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, valued for its hardness and resistance to wear. Brass is used in mechanical and decorative components, while bronze is used in sculptures and tools.

Recycling these metals reduces the need to extract new raw materials, decreases the environmental impact associated with mining and processing, and encourages more sustainable and responsible industrial practices.
