Total aluminum recovered from scrap in July 2015 was 302,000 tons, slightly less than that recovered in June and in July 2014. Of this, 162,000 tons of aluminum was recovered from new scrap, 7% less than the amount during the preceding month but slightly more than the amount recovered in July 2014. The amount of aluminum recovered from old scrap was 140,000 tons, 4% more than the amount recovered in the preceding month but 5% less than that in July 2014.
Alcoa Inc. announced that it will restart secondary aluminum production at its Texarkana, TX, plant that was idled in 2009, citing increased demand for rolled sheet by the automobile industry. Two casting pits would produce rolling slab to be shipped to Alcoa’s rolling mills in Davenport, IA, and Lancaster, PA. Ramp up was expected to be completed in the first half of 2016 (Maltais, 2015).
