Stainless steel scrap is commonly used in the production of packaging materials due to its durability and corrosion resistance properties. It is often melted down and transformed into new stainless steel sheets or coils, which can then be used to manufacture packaging containers, cans, or other metal packaging products. By using stainless steel scrap, the recycling process reduces the need for raw materials extraction and conserves energy, making it an environmentally friendly choice for packaging production.
