Microwave Scrap

Microwave scrap refers to discarded or obsolete microwave ovens that are no longer functional or suitable for use. These appliances are collected for recycling due to their valuable metal and material content, including steel, aluminum, copper, glass, and plastics.

• Key Characteristics:
• Composition: Primarily steel (outer casing), aluminum (internal components), copper (wiring, transformers), glass (door), and plastics (housing, buttons). May include circuit boards.
• Types: Includes domestic and commercial microwaves, categorized as "clean" (stripped of non-metal parts) or "dirty" (with glass, plastics, or circuit boards).
• Export Markets: High demand in countries with aluminum smelting facilities, such as China, India, and the Middle East.
