In a rapidly changing world, the utmost concern today is pollution and scarcity of resources. Ores and minerals of metals are non-renewable natural resources which have an evergrowing demand at the global level and across sectors, making it imperative to reuse and recycle already extracted metals. Recycling of these non-ferrous metals provides social, economic and environmental benefits apart from the potential for employment generation; And whereas India’s mineral-rich areas are under dense forests and inhabited by tribal communities Recycling reduces extraction pressures due to the growing demand for metals and will prevent loss of livelihood and destruction of forests and vegetation cover.
