Mixed metal scrap typically contains approximately 4% aluminum, 10% copper, 85% iron, and 1% other metals. This composition makes it a valuable source for recycling various metals, especially iron and copper. Proper sorting and processing can enhance the recovery rate of each component, contributing to sustainable metal reuse and reducing the need for virgin material extraction.
