• Non-Ferrous Metals Division: Economic atmosphere still not clear
  Non-Ferrous Metals Division: Economic atmosphere still not clear Markets are continuing to “react dramatically” to an economic atmosphere which is still “not overly clear”. Intra-day price ranges often exceed the margins realised by processing facilities during normal times - “and there is no reason to believe that this situation will be remedied any time soon”, delegates to the BIR Non-Ferrous Metals Division meeting in Istanbul were told by its President Robert Stein of Alter Tradi...
• International Environment Council: End-of-waste criteria crucial for the recycling industry
  International Environment Council: End-of-waste criteria crucial for the recycling industry The process taking place within the EU to develop end-of-waste criteria is very much needed by the recycling industry, underlined BIR Environmental & Technical Director Ross Bartley at the Istanbul meeting of the International Environment Council (IEC).

• Tyres Committee: Energy recovery from ELTs is growing quickly
  Tyres Committee: Energy recovery from ELTs is growing quickly Latest figures from the European Tyre & Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) indicate that a mere 5-6% of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) arising within the EU-27, Switzerland and Norway were destined for landfill in 2008.

  BIR World Mirror Non-Ferrous 91, 06/2010 Our world has changed As I write this, I am looking at a market that has copper down over US$ 400 per ton, aluminum is down US$ 100 and nickel has declined over US$ 900 - and it isn't even lunchtime yet. We live in a world rife with panic; quick to react equally to rumor and fact; less responsive each month to the fundamentals of our business but succumbing to the intangible forces that serve to create both strong and weak markets. Our world and our busin...
• BIR World Mirror Paper 04/2010
  BIR World Mirror Paper 04/2010 Strong demand The swing in business trends following the world’s emergence from recession became very noticeable at the start of 2010. Strong demand from Asia, and especially China, was accompanied by equally strong demand within Europe. The container shipping lines, which were projected to post losses of around US$ 20bn for 2009, continued their drive to increase basic freight rates and also started imposing new surcharges, examples of these being: BAF (bu...
