Abstract
The paper addresses the issue of utilizing industrial wastes considering the current legal regulations in Poland and the European Union. The importance of recycling was highlighted, with particular emphasis on metal elements whose natural deposits are limited. A comparison was made between primary methods of metal extraction and metal recovery (from secondary sources) using solid-state recycling methods without melting. An analysis of some methods for recycling industrial metallic wastes was conducted. Special attention was given to metal chips and the accompanying lubricating and cooling substances. An innovative recycling process was presented – the KOBO extrusion of metallic wastes in the form of chips, with example research results and a list of benefits from using this process for the production of metal profiles.
