Metal Recycling in the Defense Industry

As the defense industry works to be more environmentally friendly, metal recycling is becoming more and more important – and Globe Metal® is there to help. New ways to use recycled metals in planes, tanks, jets, and other products are becoming more popular – so it’s important for us to both buy and sell metals like tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and nickel.

Because of the risk of live ammunition and explosives, metals recycled from the defense industry go through a rigorous screening process before being turned over to Globe Metal®, and we follow strict internal procedures for handling and inspecting the metal to ensure the safety of all of our staff and the public.

The recycling of metal scrap from the defense industry can involve transportation, removal, cutting, separating, and extracting. Recycling with Globe Metal® is simple and fast, and you are guaranteed to receive fair market prices for your materials.

Standard Procedures for recycling metal:

  • Understand client’s material through photos, analysis or testing;
  • Globe Metal® submits pricing quote – based on different recycling options;
  • Material is picked up from client’s facility, sorted, cleaned, and processed;
  • Globe Metal® distributes metals for recycling through an international network providing proof of destruction or recycling certificates

To expedite the process, please provide us with the following essential information:

  1. Approximate weight of your material
  2. Types of metals
  3. Whether the material is mixed with other materials or kept by itself
  4. How the metal is stored or contained
  5. Photos of the material

For questions relating to any metal, or to enquire about how your company could benefit from our profitable recycling program, please reach out to an expert at 1-800-700-6382 or sales@globemetal.com.

Globe Metal® is ISO certified and a proud member of Minor Metals Trade Association.
