STATISTICS
- Last year in the United States alone, scrap recyclers handled more than 130 million tons of recyclables destined for domestic use and overseas markets. This tonnage included approximately: ? 70 million tons of scrap iron and steel ? 60 million tons of scrap paper and paperboard ? 4.1 million tons of scrap aluminum ? 1.5 million tons of scrap copper ? 1.1 million tons of scrap stainless steel ? 1.4 million tons of scrap lead ? 248,000 tons of scrap zinc ? 3.5 million tons of scrap glass or cullet (beverage containers only) ? 300,000 tons of scrap plastic (beverage containers only) ? 56 million scrap tires This scrap is collected for beneficial reuse, conserving impressive amounts of energy and natural resources in the recycling process. For example, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycled aluminum saves the nation 95 percent of the energy that would have been needed to make new aluminum from ore. Recycled iron and steel result in energy savings of 74 percent; recycled copper, 85 percent; recycled paper, 64 percent; and recycled plastic, more than 80 percent, all from materials that would otherwise be destined for landfills. Today, in the United States, scrap processing capacity is estimated to exceed 140 million annual tons of ferrous scrap alone?more than double the current volumes being purchased in the United States for domestic consumption and export. Even on a single-shift basis?working only daylight hours?at least 70 million tons of ferrous scrap a year can be shredded, sheared, baled, crushed, briquetted, broken, and torched. This capacity is reflected in multi-billion dollar investments by the industry in land, building, and equipment. Today, the scrap recycling industry in the United States, and in many parts of the world, is a sophisticated, capital-intensive industry preparing millions of tons of scrap for reuse each and every year.
