Metal Recycling Energy Savings Calculator

Estimate the CO₂ emissions saved and energy savings when recycling scrap metal

The Metal Recycling Energy Savings Calculator works by estimating the CO₂ emissions saved and energy savings when recycling scrap metal instead of mining and processing virgin materials.

How Does It Work?

Input the Weight of Scrap Metal (kg)
- Enter the weight of the scrap metal they are recycling.
Calculator Uses Industry-Standard Data on Energy & CO₂ Savings
- Every type of metal has an estimated CO₂ and energy saving per kilogram when recycled instead of mined.
- The tool multiplies the input weight by these savings to calculate total benefits.
Outputs the Environmental Benefits
- The calculator displays:
  - CO₂ emissions prevented (kg of CO₂ saved).
  - Energy savings (kWh saved compared to mining).

Select Metal Type Enter Weight (kg)

*Estimates based on industry averages. Actual savings may vary.

How Do We Get the Emissions & Energy Savings Data?

The figures come from scientific research, industry reports, and environmental agencies. Here are the estimated CO₂ and energy savings per kg of metal recycled:
