“Working closely with suppliers and recognizing their
efforts to deliver high-quality scrap in a safe and reliable manner continues
to be an important component of our overall plan to continue to grow the usage
of scrap into our locations,” said Gary S. Doughty, North American Scrap
Materials manager.
“In 2012, we enhanced our program to provide feedback to
our suppliers on how they are performing against our scorecard. We’ve had
positive response from numerous suppliers regarding the quarterly feedback that
this helps them to help us. We plan to continue with this initiative as we look
to the future to meet our growing need for scrap across our North American
facilities,” added Doughty.
In addition to being a leader in processing and utilizing
traditional aluminum scrap, Alcoa recently became sole owner of Evermore
Recycling, a beverage can (UBC) recycling company.
Aluminum is infinitely recyclable and approximately 75
percent of all aluminum ever produced since 1888 is still in active use today,
according to Alcoa.
