• Recent BIR World Recycling Convention in Amsterdam - Non-Ferrous Metals Division: “Resilient” recyclers can “reinvent” themselves
  Recent BIR World Recycling Convention (Round-Table Sessions) in Amsterdam (24-25 October 2016) Non-Ferrous Metals Division: “Resilient” recyclers can “reinvent” themselves Falling commodity prices, reduced scrap availability, uneven manufacturing growth, high regulatory costs and reduced overseas demand are just some of the challenges that have forced a restructuring of the scrap industry in the USA, pointed out Mark Lewon, President of Utah Metal Works and Chair of the US Institute of S...
• Ferrous Metals
  MaterialsFerrous metals are mainly composed of iron and have magnetic properties. Steel, an iron alloy containing carbon, is by far the most-recycled material in the world. Total steel production in 2008 reached 1.3 billion tonnes, of which over 500 million tonnes were made from scrap metal. The most commonly recycled items are scrap from industrial processes, end-of-life products such as containers, vehicles, appliances, industrial machinery and construction materials.The use of scrap metal has...
• Non-Ferrous Metals
  MaterialsThe most commonly used non-ferrous metals are aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, cobalt, chromium and precious metals. Millions of tonnes of nonferrous scrap are recovered annually and used by smelters, refiners, ingot makers, foundries, and other manufacturers. Secondary materials are essential to the industry’s survival because even new metals often require the combined use of recycled materials.New metals made using recycled material Aluminium > 33% Copper > 40%...

• Paper
  MaterialsMade from vegetable fibres called cellulose, paper as we know it today was first created in China more than two thousand years ago. Since the advent of the printing press in the 15th century , its use has spread across all continents to the extent that, currently, it is hard to imagine the world without this versatile material. More than 400 million tonnes of paper and cardboard are produced worldwide every year, with more than half coming from recovered sources.Approximately 50% of rec...
