What is Shredded Steel Scrap?
Shredded Steel Scrap is produced by mechanically shredding large steel items such as automobiles, appliances, and industrial steel parts. The shredding process ensures a uniform size, high density, and low contamination, making it one of the most preferred scrap types for steel mills and foundries.
Applications of Shredded Steel Scrap
Shredded steel scrap is highly versatile and widely used across industries:
-
Steel production – as a clean feedstock for electric arc furnaces (EAF)
-
Foundries – used in re-melting to produce new castings and components
-
Construction & manufacturing – reprocessed into beams, pipes, and sheets
-
Automotive industry – recycled into durable vehicle components
