The importance of aluminum scrap to Alcoa is discussed. The recycling of aluminum saves operating costs and materials as the need for extraction and use of virgin materials is decreased. Automobile scrap, beverage cans, and other forms of aluminum scrap are utilized. Such recycling also conserves energy. The remelting and recovery of aluminum from segregated scrap uses only 5% of the energy required to produce the metal from bauxite ore.
