EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 1MINS READ

According to aluminium recycling statistics published by the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Interior, the U.S. aluminium industry purchased an estimated 315,280 tonnes of aluminium scrap during December 2017, essentially unchanged from the December 2016 total.

USGS estimates that recovery of aluminium and aluminium alloys totalled 282,000 tonnes , slightly less than that in November 2017 and December 2016, but 8% more than in December 2015.  In total for 2017, preliminary data indicate that aluminium recovered from purchased scrap in the United States was about 3.7 million tons, of which about 57% came from new (manufacturing) scrap and 43% from old scrap (discarded aluminium products). Total recovery from scrap in 2017 was slightly more than that in 2016 and 8% more than that in 2015.

Aluminum recovered from old scrap was equivalent to about 27% of apparent consumption. U.S. exports of scrap, not included in the government’s consumption statistics, totalled 3,537 million pounds in 2017, up 18.3 per cent over 2016.
