Recycling for climate protection
Interseroh makes an important contribution to relieving our climate: by recycling around 2.7 million tons of metal we help save over 4.3 million tons of CO2. Measured against the total German emissions of 765 million tons of CO2 in 2010, this is a substantial contribution.
Metal recycling profits from an almost constant quality
Metals are one of the non-renewable raw materials. Apart from the economic and ecological burdens from mining under increasingly difficult conditions, they have to be recycled if only on account of the limited resources. Furthermore, recycling metals saves significant amounts of CO2 emissions. Within the scope of the study prepared by the Fraunhofer-Institute UMSICHT, this CO2-relief was considered on the basis of the metal fractions aluminium, steel and copper.
