Brass and Bronze

Brass and bronze are copper alloys known for their different properties and applications. Brass, composed mainly of copper and zinc, stands out for its ductility, malleability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for the manufacture of mechanical, decorative and musical components. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is valued for its hardness, resistance to wear and low friction, being essential in the creation of sculptures, tools and gears.

The recycling of brass and bronze underlines the sector's commitment to sustainability, ensuring that these valuable materials are efficiently reintegrated into the production cycle. This process not only minimizes the need to mine copper and other primary metals, but also reduces the environmental impact associated with the production of new alloys, promoting more responsible and environmentally friendly industrial practices.
