Metal

Metal is defined as 'a material of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous properties that are good conductors of electricity and heat, form cations by loss of electrons, and yield basic oxides and hydroxides'[1].

The term Metal can capture a wide range of different categories/types within the waste and resources sector, including the broader term Scrap Metal as well as sub-grouping into Ferrous (containing iron), Non-Ferrous (not containing iron)[2] and Mixed Metals.
