One of the main uses for brass scrap is in manufacturing new brass products. Used brass is typically melted down and processed back into ingots or billets for reuse by manufacturers to produce plumbing fixtures, electrical connectors, valves, hardware products musical instruments or decorative items crafted out of brass scrap. Reusing recycled brass allows manufacturers to reduce dependence on virgin raw materials while simultaneously cutting costs while decreasing environmental impacts associated with mining copper or zinc ore ores.
