Scrap brass ammo is the most popular type of recycled ammunition. Their popularity derives from the shell casings durability, corrosion resistance and ease of reloading.
Each cartridge casing begins its life as a brass “coil” formed when copper and zinc, along with a few trace elements, are combined to form brass.
Most consumers are unaware that they can recycle brass shell casings. Therefore, Interco provides the solution with a simple and efficient way to recycle brass shell casings.
When recycling brass shell casings, Interco discovers metal shell housings with low degrees of aluminum and manganese bronze. In fact, 90% of metal is reused. (https://www.intercotradingco.com/get-a-quote/)
Ammunition must be inert to be recycled. Live Cartridges cannot be recycled for safety reasons; they may explode. For this reason, the lead slug in live ammo contaminates the shell’s brass hence recyclers find it difficult to separate lead from brass.
Interco is an R2:2013 certified electronics and nonferrous metals recycling company headquartered in Madison, Illinois.
