• BIR World Mirror on Non Ferrous Metals - October 2013
  BIR World Mirror on Non Ferrous Metals - October 2013 Don’t forget the time-lag Modest worldwide economic growth is predicted by most forecasting entities, a view that most hold should lend support to metals prices for next year. While the developing markets are still seeing corrections in their recent GDP growth, their progress coupled with slow but hopefully sustainable economies in the industrialized regions supports the optimism expressed by most during LME Week in early October. While the...

• BIR World Mirror on Non-Ferrous Metals - Issue August/September 2015
  BIR World Mirror on Non-Ferrous Metals - Issue August/September 2015 Confidence at a premium in China This summer wasn’t a good time for a vacation for most of us. The bubble bursting in China’s stock market, a prospect I had brought up in the last few issues, became a reality. Indeed, it fell off a cliff from 5000 points to below 2700 at one point, from where it had risen in October 2014. How could this happen? Or perhaps we should rephrase the question: what made the stock price soar when...
• Non-Ferrous World Mirror: China should eliminate VAT on scrap imports
  China should eliminate VAT on scrap imports A few weeks ago, I represented BIR at a forum that was intended to apprise shippers and importers of scrap to and inside China of new regulations that would be put into place in the near future. While some of these new regulations deal with environmental issues and are worthy, most deal with procedures to stop smuggling by misdeclaration of product class and value. You have all read many versions of the somewhat confusing new policies, but suffice it t...
• Plastics
  Materials Available today in many shapes and forms, plastics have become part our everyday life.  However, their popularity and almost endless applications present a series of challenges for the recycling industry. We now use about 20 times more plastic than we did 50 years ago and certain post-consumer products contain as many as 20 different types of plastic materials. This widespread use of all kinds of plastic makes it difficult to collect large enough quantities of certain types to make r...

• BIR World Mirror on Non-Ferrous Metals - May 2013
  No place for taxes Metals need to find their way around the world with an economic efficiency that is too often disrupted by governments. Proximity to local scrap is often the reason for these disruptions as domestic consumers seek to limit exports to nations who do not meet certain “acceptable” criteria to treat scrap. Import duties on scrap, such as those imposed very recently by the government of India, also serve to disrupt what should be the normal movement of our products. Scrap metal,...
• BIR World Mirror on Non Ferrous Metals - August 2013
  Conventional wisdom’s flip-side There was a time when conventional wisdom had it that business would somehow get better once the summer holidays were over, that industrial production would improve, prices would rise, and scrap would start to flow. I suppose we learned somewhere along the way that a flip of the calendar from one month to another doesn’t do much in altering the state of our business, and on a more macro basis, the state of the world economies. Concerns about the US economy, al...
