Scrap Metals Supplement--Aluminum Scrap Consumer Map

Recycling Today is taking a departure from its usual routine in this year's Scrap Metals Supplement. Rather than feature the ferrous scrap flow map that has been presented annually since 1998, this year's map offers a list of aluminum scrap consuming destinations.

We have done our best to identify facilities throughout the United States that produce 20,000 metric tons or more per year of secondary aluminum or otherwise consume significant amounts of aluminum scrap.

We realize that we may have overlooked some companies that merit inclusion on this list, or that we could have overestimated the amount of scrap used at other facilities. WE welcome input from our readers and invite you to contact managing editor DeAnne Toto at (800) 456-0707 or at dtoto@gie.net.

We hope you'll find this new map an interesting and helpful resource. And for those readers whose main interest lieson the ferrous side of the business, our 2004 Ferrous Scrap Flow Map is avaliable on our Web site.
