HMS Scrap

Benefits of the HMS Scrap

HMS (heavy melting steel) scrap is a designation for recyclable steel and wrought iron. It is broken up into two major categories: HMS 1 and HMS 2, where HMS 1 does not contain galvanized and blackened steel, whereas HMS 2 does. Both grades comprise of obsolete scrap only – iron and steel recovered from items demolished or dismantled at the end of their life. Recycling HMS material reduces CO2 emissions, which is great for the environment, and lessens the resources that are used to make fresh steel and wrought iron products.
