Metals can be endlessly recycled without altering their properties. Recycling is therefore a means of both processing waste materiel and producing resources. At Helcotrade, we are aware of today’s environmental issues and the need to reduce the carbon footprint of metal production. Helcotrade is proud to work with eco-organisations and to participate in the development of the raw materials recycling sector.
