If you're one of those people who loves to cook, no doubt your saucepans take a bit of a battering in the kitchen. Eventually, there will come a time when they need to be got rid of. However, not all saucepans can be recycled, as it all depends on what your saucepans are made of.
While some of the best saucepan sets can last for years with the right care, all pans have a shelf life. Stainless steel and cast iron pans have a great reputation for longevity and should last you for decades, while non-stick saucepans tend to have a shorter lifespan of around three to five years, depending on how they are cared for. Over time, the non-stick coating can deteriorate, meaning they need to be replaced.
