Recycling in demolition projects — maximise value in each kilogram
Demolition projects create large amounts of scrap metal — and great opportunities. At Skrotify.se, we help demolition contractors sort smarter, get paid better and reduce the climate impact of every project.
Why the scrap from demolition is so valuable
When demolishing buildings, quantities of materials: rebar, steel beams, copper cables, aluminum windows, ventilation drums and stainless are released from kitchens and sanitation. Many of these metals are in demand in the market and can provide high replacements when properly recycled.
Every demolition project carries a hidden treasure of metals that, properly managed, can be transformed into both climate benefit and profitability
Sort the scrap properly involves:
- Better paid per kilo
- Lower waste management costs
- Clearer CO₂ savings in the project's environmental statement
Common mistakes in demolition recycling
Many demolition contractors still dispose of all materials in mixed containers. Then valuable fractions such as copper, aluminum and stainless are lost, lowering the economic outcome and impairing climate reporting.
With Skrotify, you get a solution adapted for demolition:
- Separate sorting solutions for different metal types
- Fetching and weighing adapted to the project schedule
- Full digital tracking of weight, CO₂ saving and recycling rate
We help entrepreneurs maximize value from first to last kilo
Three tips to succeed with the scrap in demolition
- Plan the reclamation in the demolition plan: Integrate scrap management from the start of the project.
- Create clear sorting points in place: Separate copper, aluminum and stainless directly.
- Follow-up and reporting: Use Skrotify Portal for real-time monitoring and climate data.
Smart choices during demolition make a big difference both to the wallet and to the climate.
