How Does Metal Recycling Work?

[@logans3365]

Now if only we could end planned obsolescence, and start building products that last, instead of endlessly building and in most cases throwing away things that should last lifetimes.

[@vladrossolov4273]

I amWith you on this statement

[@vitalm9525]

Could actually put a dent in the destruction of our countries of our planet apparently caused by constant "demand"

[@IrishEddie317]

Very cool. I make good money picking up scrap metal and bringing it to my local scrap yard. I've often wondered how they separate intertwined metals like aluminum and steel when they are cast together. Now I have an answer. This was great to watch and makes me feel good that I am part of helping reduce damage to the environment by scrapping.

[@SteveTrash]

An excellent explanation of recycling outdated household refrigerators. Thank you!

[@raeesahmed6404]

np thanks for the feedback

[@majorkramer]

​@@raeesahmed6404The More I know The More Questions I Have..😮

[@MStonewallC]

That eddy current step where the other metals and plastic get separated is amazing

[@4stringz.]

Love this. Steel and ironworks are such an integral part of modern society and this is such a necessary part of that lifecycle. Much appreciated all!

[@barondemonrepos]

Thank you. Very informative. I sold few years ago about 1200 kg different kind of metals. I bought an old farm and there was plenty of trash. Mainly iron. Even rusty items were accepted. The representative of the company told that they deliver metals mainly to Turkey! My old metal items might be now steel somewhere in Turkey? They told that the copper has now a good price/kg. It is great that they will recycle metals so well. Saves nature.

[@natescarvingcreations2978]

Very interesting and informative. Thanks for the video. I would love to see a longer, more in depth video of the process

[@yekutielbenheshel354]

Informative. Thanks!

[@ashman4809]

Great explanation. The music also had me thinking I was playing a game while watching. SWTOR perhaps.

[@elijahj-l825]

Great video! It all makes sense how this is done

[@fordmanmal]

1:05 Im sure someone drew a Y on the end of that sign :-P It then seems to have been hit.

[@4stringz.]

Workplace shenanigans 🤣

[@JCinerea]

I wonder if they hit it when they found out a video was gonna be made

[@majorkramer]

Anything & Everything I learn about metal, scrap etc is worth knowing. Even if I'm trying to find something specific. Thx!

[@rogiervantilburg3440]

excellent video!!

[@daha3074]

Excellent!

[@brycenesbitt7201]

When they cut the compressor out doesn't that release the CFC?

[@TonedogTonedogGaming]

Keep up the hard work

[@mananagarwal6981]

Which cross cut grinder is being used here? I really want to know for a personal project

[@marksmithwas12]

So uhh, this video about fridges is how you recycle metal generally?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Uhhh, it's about how they recycle fridges and freezers, the components and chemicals and the impact on the environment.

[@fordmanmal]

Weird, here in NZ we just take the fridges/freezers to the scrap yard and get paid per the kg - depends on the market, anywhere from 6c/kg up to 15c/kg. They don't degas them or separate the plastic etc it just goes into their containers/trucks as mixed lowgrade metals and shipped off to the recycling places that further recycle it down to be made into new products. I have not yet heard of any scrap yard that wont take them. And no laws in NZ that prohibits it. Its not "legal" as such to let the CFC gases out but they are in damn near everything so you cant really police it.

[@nicolaschu9599]

Depends on the scrap yard, in California, we can sell whole fridges as light iron, but my yard separates them out of the light iron pile so they can recycle them separately, probably to recover freon and compressors for resale.

[@MMusic91]

This was actually very interesting to see.

[@MarkStoneLimited]

Can i use this video on my next live stream to show people who watches on my channel

[@dianauribe29]

sooooo intense 💥

[@omenyaska6558]

i like this one

[@lemonade86]

Informative, thank you. Is there any information from the pre-waste supply chain that you don't currently have that might help with further investment and innovation?

[@gracerose1477]

"what do you do for a job?" oh you know, I manually feed old recycled refrigerators through a conveyor belt.

[@sargentslim300]

Lol gotta love it.

[@daniel-kp5vo]

No recycling of the plastic powder..its a big problem that one. A lot of bags,more to come..

[@dizarangel6983]

Does anyone know what happens to the gases once they’ve been turned liquid with the liquid nitrogen??

[@EldraziPig]

No I don't.

[@TheTrainWatch]

At 4:32 they say that the CFC gases are sent for incineration.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@TheTrainWatch This. Who knows what sort of gas it produces during incineration.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Interesting presentation. What is he calling a "screw"? A conveyer?

[@MStonewallC]

Yeah I pictured an archimedes screw before the graphic showed there was a belt inside

[@ilikelebronjames6426]

1:08 tell me that’s not morgz mum...

[@charlesgros3548]

It must be part time work because it's hard for me to believe that they had that many refrigerators coming in every week in England. That was mean that every household buy a refrigerator once a week.

[@gonzogilberto4690]

Kings amongst men

[@garyh3322]

I used this with my home work

[@cmworkman94]

It's just fridges. FRIDGES!!!!!!!!!!! They recycle more than that!!!

[@tylergollihugh9272]

The liquid nitrogen, and drying, seem so energy-intensive that I wonder if the net gain is worth it?

[@IamPaste]

My fridge still works.

[@excavator368]

Amazing! Hope to cooperate with you!

[@jaywezi3580]

my cat needs recycling

[@kallepunkken]

I just god a brilliant idea! WHY NOT REPAIR OLD FRIDGES INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THEM AND REBUILDING

[@logans3365]

Because planned obsolescence makes corporations lots of money Capitalism incentivizes the wrong things.

[@pensans1]

£20 to get the old one taken away

[@angelcortez7802]

😊

[@edwilko8819]

foam into land fill boooo, turn into insulation for all houses, sheads etc...

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Good luck with that.

Hello sir, how are you, I hope you are all fine, my name is Muhammad Waqas and I am working in Pakistan. I am very polite to the manager of my company. I want to work in your company. Please give me a chance. thank you very much

baler,shear,shredder for scrap metal

[@jonglewongle3438]

Good riddance to the bastard things.

[@Stan-mh7bf]

They could record the voice separately, pathetic.

[@davidpage7643]

I’m mildly disturbed at how exciting I found this video . 🤔 For what is junk & waste I bet this is a satisfying job, one with real purpose 🫡
