ABSTRACT

Some of this chapter will be out of date before you read it. The recycling industry is constantly changing, and the number of facilities processing aluminum scrap or dross grows or shrinks with time in different locations owing to several factors. As a result, some recyclers counted in this chapter are now defunct, and new ones have begun operations since this was written. In addition, the definitions used to describe the recycling industry are no longer as precise as when they were first used.
