Thorn-Aluminum Breakage spec added
(Washington, DC) - The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) announced today a new nonferrous specification has been published in the Scrap Specifications Circular 2014. Approved by the ReMA nonferrous division and board of directors, the new specification states that, “Thorn—Aluminum Breakage shall consist of aluminum with miscellaneous contaminants like iron, dirt, plastic, and other types of contaminants. Material can either be sold based on aluminum recovery or content as agreed upon by buyer and seller. It must also contain a minimum of 33 percent aluminum unless otherwise agreed upon by buyer and seller.”
“The Scrap Specifications Circular is an important tool for the global recycling industry,” said Joe Pickard, chief economist and director of commodities for ISRI. “As the range of commercially recyclable commodities continues to evolve, ISRI’s specifications are frequently reviewed and updated to reflect what is actually being traded in the scrap marketplace. This new specification will serve to bring more clarity to an important aluminum scrap grade that was not previously covered under ReMA specifications.”
The Scrap Specifications Circular contains standard specifications that are intended to assist market participants in the buying and selling of their materials and products. ISRI’s scrap specifications provide guidelines for the full range of processed scrap commodities, including ferrous metal, nonferrous metals, paper, plastics, electronics, rubber, and glass. The specifications, which are internationally accepted and used throughout the world as guidelines for trading the various commodities, are always subject to negotiation between buyer and seller.
