Recycled metals
Our recycled metal products are suitable for the different needs of industry. An increasing number of metal products are already produced from recycled metals, and our refining processes ensure that we are able to save nearly 100% of precious metals.

Why Fortum’s recycled metal products?
Diversity
A wide range of copper, aluminium, steel and iron in different grades.
Sustainability
Our efficient recycling process meets the requirements of responsible recycling and minimises environmental impact.
Quality
Our high-quality end products are based on efficient sorting at the place of origin.
Our recycled metal product selection
Recycled steel
HMS
HMS or "Heavy-melting steel" is a common recycled metal grade. It contains ferrous pieces with a size of 150x50x50 cm.
Bonus
Bonus is heavy-melting steel, but thinner than HMS. The Bonus is more than 6 mm thick iron.
Light Scrap
Light scrap is mixed, light and thin iron scrap.
Fe-turnings
Fe-Turnings are turning chips from iron processing. Suitable for recycling.
Bushelings
Recycled new clean sheet metal, i.e. uncoated surplus sheet metal from industry.
Incinerator scrap
Incineration plant scrap is an iron-containing recyclable metal fraction separated from the slag and ash of the incineration plant by a magnet.
Cast iron
Cast iron in its various forms.
Mn-Scrap
The manganese alloy makes this iron alloy tough and it is often used, for example, in the mining industry. The manganese content of this iron alloy is typically more than 10%.
E1, E2 & E3
The most typical domestic selling grades of iron. Iron is classified into different E fractions according to the origin and thickness of the material.
Recycled zinc
Hard zinc
Hard Zinc is a by-product of the zinc industry, which is created when the excess zinc used in coating is cast into a large ingot.
Zinc dust
Zinc dust and other by-products of the zinc industry still contain a lot of zinc metal, which can be recovered and returned to circulation if properly treated.
Recycled copper
Millberry
Pure bare copper wire that is electrolytically clean without oxidation and coatings.
B-copper
Oxidized copper scrap containing impurities, such as a used water pipe or oxidized copper wires. The verse may contain small amounts of other metals, for example in fasteners.
Honey
Brass in its various forms: sheets, tubes, slabs, etc. May not contain sockets, oxidized or iron-containing pieces.
Meatballs
Windings of small electric motors originating from incineration plants or from crushing.
Granules
Electrolytically pure copper granulate made from electrical conductors and cables.
Lead cables
Copper cable with a lead jacket between the insulation layer.
Recycled aluminium
TT Hammel
Taint Tabor Hammel, i.e. pure mixed alloyed aluminium processed into pieces about the size of a fist.
Rims
Aluminium rims either with accessories (valves, tire weights) or without them.
Al/mg
Marine aluminium or 5000 series aluminium. Magnesium makes this aluminium alloy corrosion-resistant.
Tense
Cast aluminium pieces that contain silicon and other alloys to guarantee good castability and machinability.
Granules
Electrolytically pure aluminium granulate made from electrical wires and cables.
Sticks
An aluminium stick cut from electric wires and magnetized, with iron wires removed from the aluminium.
Recycled transformers
Aluminium core
Aluminum cores removed from distribution network transformers.
Copper core
Copper cores removed from distribution network transformers.
