Govt. kickbacks for using recycled aluminum?
Govt. kickbacks for using recycled aluminum?
(OP)
Has anyone heard of the US govt. giving companies financial kickbacks for using aluminum alloys made from recycled aluminum (via a remelt process) rather than using prime aluminum direct from a smelter? This was brought up in a meeting this morning, but no one had any solid information to pass on. Let me know if there's any info sources out there...

to give you an insight i used to produce aluminium alloys in Scotland. our customer based went as far as atlanta alloy A380.1, japan, germany, switzerland and most of europe. With haulage and taxes in germany it was cheaper from them to buy it from us, transport it across europe and enter gernmany ant nearest point to the company rather than buy internally
One this that was costly for secondary aluminium producers was the landfill tax for dispoing of slag. This ulimately shut us.
Id say you would be able to get some sort of rebate on environmental tax, but not sure.
