The Scrap Metals-Processing/Recycling (Wholesale) industry involves the buying, processing, and selling of scrap metals for recycling purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in reducing waste and conserving natural resources by diverting scrap metals from landfills and reusing them in the production of new products. Companies in this industry typically purchase scrap metals from various sources, such as individuals, businesses, and government agencies, and then process them to remove impurities and prepare them for recycling. The processed metals are then sold to manufacturers and other customers who use them to produce a wide range of products, including automobiles, appliances, and construction materials.
