Industrial Metal Recycling Solutions

Metal was one of the first materials to be recycled—and for good reason. Metals are durable, valuable, and infinitely recyclable without losing their properties. Recycling metal conserves natural resources, reduces pollution, and saves significant amounts of energy compared to primary production.

For example, recycling aluminum saves up to 95% of the energy required to make new metal from ore. Globally, recycled scrap accounts for roughly 60% of steel production, nearly half of all copper, and over 50% of aluminum feedstock. This efficiency results in cleaner air, reduced water use, and a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

How Blue Planet Recycles Metals
Blue Planet Recycling offers metal recovery programs designed to meet the needs of commercial and industrial generators. Our aluminum recycling service—available in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Seattle—caters especially to the printing and manufacturing sectors.

We provide secure storage cages, scheduled pickups, and competitive rebates for aluminum plates and other high-value metal materials. Collected metals are transported to approved refining and smelting partners for reprocessing into new feedstock used by North American manufacturers.

By combining local logistics with responsible downstream processing, Blue Planet ensures metals are recycled efficiently and traceably, with documentation provided for every load.

Sustainability & Energy Savings
Recycling metals offers measurable sustainability benefits:
• Reduces energy use by up to 95% compared to virgin production
• Lowers carbon emissions and raw material demand
• Prevents landfill waste and resource depletion
• Supports circular manufacturing and ESG goals

Blue Planet’s industrial metal recycling programs make it easy for businesses to reduce costs, earn rebates, and demonstrate environmental leadership through responsible material recovery.
