Title
Aluminum Recycling Casebook
The Aluminum Association Inc.
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1998
Scope:
PREFACE
For decades, the aluminum industry has made a strong, sustained
contribution to the American
economy. The U.S. aluminum supply is comprised of three basic sources
- domestic primary
production, domestic recycled production, and imports. Since 1984,
recycled aluminum has been the
fastest growing segment of the total supply.
As the use of aluminum has grown, the industry has become a pioneer in
the field of recycling,
earning worldwide recognition as a leader in materials recovery. In
fact, as of 1997, over
one-third of the total U.S. aluminum supply is provided through
recycling. It is this industry -
aluminum recycling - that is the focus of this Casebook.
This makes aluminum the leading recoverable material in the country
with numbers so significant
that aluminum recycling has become an industry unto itself.
Designed to support even greater achievements in aluminum recovery,
the Casebook offers substantive
information on history, markets, processes, equipment, regulations and
technical issues. The
Casebook examines the recovery of aluminum from many different
sources, including metal scrap,
municipal refuse, automobiles, industrial sources, and post-consumer
products.
From an overview of the economic and environmental impact of aluminum
recycling to key issues, the
Casebook makes it easy to gain a current perspective on where the
industry stands and where it's
heading.
