Alcoa Names 2011 Top North American Scrap Aluminum Suppliers

This marks the seventh consecutive year that Alcoa’s scrap aluminum purchasing group has compiled the Top list. The key criteria include safety, quality, volume, sustainability and environmental compliance and delivery performance.
“This program has been a vital component of our plan to sustain and grow the flow of scrap aluminum into our locations,” said Gary S. Doughty, Alcoa’s North American Scrap Materials Manager. “Alcoa plans to continue with this proven strategy as we look to the future to meet our growing need for scrap aluminum across our North American facilities.”
In 2010, Alcoa recycled approximately 1.1 billion pounds of aluminum helping to further increase the Company’s leading position in the industry. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable with approximately 75 percent of all aluminum produced since 1888 still in use today. Material from the siding, aerospace, automotive and ground transportation, lithographic, and extrusion markets are included in North America’s purchasing efforts.
