General comment Aluminium scrap is the most essential input material to the recycling process. It is often categorised as 'new scrap' from production processes and 'old scrap' from post consumer use. New scrap arises during the manufacturing of aluminium semi-fabricated and final products. Old scrap refers to those products collected after use. It can be found in residential items like folding lawn chairs and commercial items like airplanes. |
