What It Is: Compressor scrap refers to the metal components found in compressors used in HVAC systems and refrigerators. These compressors contain various metals, including steel, copper, and aluminum, and are essential for the refrigeration and cooling process.

Examples: Examples of compressor scrap include the steel housing of a refrigeration compressor, copper windings, and aluminum parts used in the internal mechanisms of both residential and commercial refrigeration units.

How It’s Used: Compressor scrap is recycled to reclaim valuable metals. Steel can be melted down and repurposed for construction or manufacturing, while copper and aluminum are processed into new electrical components or structural materials. Recycling compressor scrap helps reduce landfill waste and promotes efficient resource use in the manufacturing industry
