Title
Aluminum Recycling Casebook
The Aluminum Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1985
Scope:
Aluminum recycling is both economically sound and ecologically
advantageous. Recovered aluminum is
readily marketable to scrap processors and users.
In addition to the important energy savings cited in the Preface,
recycling aluminum has lower
capital requirements for a given output of ingot. Also, the time
savings in the conversion of raw
material to finished product are significant.
Saving of foreign exchange is another important by-product of
recycling, since a large part of the
raw materials currently employed for virgin aluminum production are
imported. Reserves of bauxite,
the ore of aluminum, also are conserved by recycling.
Aluminum scrap enters the supply stream of industry through two major,
broadly classified sources:
purchased scrap and "run-around" or "home" scrap. Run-around scrap is
that which is generated by
producers of mill products, or by foundries, and is recovered or
recycled by these same producers.
Scrap classified in this category never leaves the company generating
it and, hence, is never
marketed as scrap. Aluminum scrap consumption and recovery statistics,
such as those published by
the U.S. Bureau of Mines, do not include a measurement of run-around
scrap.
