THE RECYCLING INDUSTRY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY, Harvey Alter, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 1615 H Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20062, USA

National attention in recycling focuses on municipal solid waste (MSW), even though only about 50 million tons or so of MSW can be recycled, including grass, leaves and other yard wastes. The scope and value of the recycling of industrial "wastes" is much greater. It is possible to account for some 240 million tons of material recycled at the industrial scale annually, which is likely a conservative estimate. Some of this recycling reduces what would otherwise be hazardous waste to commodities and non-hazardous residue. Global trade in recycled commodities is outlined, as well as the effect of the Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes. A recent Decision under the Convention can diminish the trade, deny developing countries needed secondary raw materials, and put world markets in chaos. Current U.S. government policies and activities toward ratification of the Convention, and possible new regulation of industrial recycling activities, will be discussed. There are federal proposals that would regulate industrial recycling differently for on-site and off-site facilities and judge legitimate or "sham" recycling according to the concentration of so-called "toxics along for the ride."


HYDROMETALLURGICAL RECOVERY OF NON-FERROUS METALS FROM SECONDARY SOURCES, Jean Goldschmidt, Jean Goldschmidt International, Place de l'Albertine 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium

Recycling of fine oxidized particles of non-ferrous metals usually cannot be carried out by pyrometallurgical methods. Hydrometallurgy provides an alternative technology to reintroduce the resulting products as secondary raw materials into the industrial cycle, thereby saving resources and energy while keeping the environment a little cleaner. The paper summarizes the methods employed by Hydrometal to achieve these objectives and stigmatizes the latest counterproductive international regulations which create ever more obstacles to environmentally sound recycling.

MINING AND REFINING OF MATERIALS FROM MUNICIPAL WASTE, Patrick F. Mahoney, Energy Answers Corporation, 79 North Pearl Street, Albany, New York 12207, USA

Each year in the United States over 10 million tons of metal are discarded with our municipal waste. This includes not only ferrous metals, aluminum and copper but gold, silver, platinum and every other precious metal. Resource recovery, as an approach to waste management, is replacing disposal and it presents great opportunities for those in the metal refining and recovery industry. Combustion of waste enriches the metal fraction left in the ash to the point where metals can be efficiently recovered. The recovery and quality of metals can be enhanced by good combustion control. Innovative technology is needed to efficiently tap this generous and renewable mine.


GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE U.S. ALUMINUM RECYCLING INDUSTRY, Richard L. Kerr, IMCO Recycling Inc., 5215 North O'Connor Blvd., Irving, Texas 75039, USA

The U.S. aluminum recycling industry has experienced rapid growth in both its size and importance over the past two decades. Secondary recovery now makes up about one-third of total U.S. aluminum supply compared with 19 percent of a much smaller total in the early 1970's. This growth has occurred in part because recycled metal performs as well as new aluminum in most applications, and because it provides major savings in production costs and natural resource utilization. In addition, the recycling industry has played a critical role in greatly expanded production and reclamation of aluminum beverage cans. Recycled metal makes up over half of the content of aluminum sheet used to manufacture beverage cans. In future years, both the production and reclamation of aluminum cans are likely to rise in foreign markets, thus providing the industry with opportunities for further growth. Recyclers may also play a larger role in supplying auto producers who are using increasing amounts of aluminum in passenger cars and trucks. However, in order to take advantage of this growing market, an efficient infrastructure for collection of scrap and production of metal must be developed.
