Um século de especificações de sucata da ISRI beneficiam a cadeia de suprimentos global

Each year, more than $100 billion of recycled scrap commodities are traded in the U.S. and around the globe—including papel, plastics, steel, copper e aluminum, as well as glass, tires and electronics. For the past century, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries’ (ISRI) specifications published in the Scrap Specification Circular(commonly known as the ISRI Specs) have guided these transactions.

“Recycling is a commodity-based industry that provides manufacturers around the globe with valuable feed stock. The terminology and standards in the hundreds of ISRI Specs provide a common language for the global recycling community that allows everyone—regardless of their spoken language or geographical distance from their trading partner—to immediately understand what is being shipped and what tolerances are allowable in the material,” said Robin Wiener, president of ISRI, in a statement. “Recycled materials are lower in cost, more energy efficient and environmentally friendly compared to virgin feed stock. And as manufacturers are looking to increase the amount of recycled content in products, specifications are becoming increasingly important.” ceramic cpu scrap for sale

First published in December 1919, ISRI’s scrap specifications have become the universal language for scrap buyers and sellers in domestic and international trades. Similar to what grades are to gasoline, ISRI specifications for the last 100 years have been providing the understanding of the quality or composition for each scrap commodity. ceramic cpu scrap for sale

Specifications are designed to reflect what is actually being traded in the market. As new products are developed, specifications are created or adjusted. For example, specifications are currently under review to address new technology used in food packaging. ISRI Specs help facilitate product recycling and market development. ceramic cpu scrap for sale

“Specifications also help promote international trade,” added Wiener. “They are used as the basis for transactions in countries such as China, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Korea, Pakistan, Malaysia, Japan, Australia and Brazil. In fact, import regulations in India, Australia and the U.S. that require scrap shipments align with ISRI Specs to differentiate valuable recyclable commodities from unacceptable material.” ceramic cpu scrap for sale

The Scrap Specifications Circular contains guidelines for nonferrous scrap, ferrous scrap, glass cullet, paper stock, plastic scrap, tire scrap and electronics scrap. In 2017, guidelines for inbound curbside recyclables were added to address scrap commodities being collected and processed by materials recovery facilities. ceramic cpu scrap for sale

ISRI said it regularly updates the circular, working hard to make sure the specifications meet changing market and consumer demands. The process to add, amend or withdraw a specification is open and transparent. Any person may file a request with ISRI. The relevant division and/or committee comprising ISRI members, in consultation with buyers, brokers and consumers, will review and make a recommendation to the full ISRI Board of Directors. ceramic cpu scrap for sale

Following a public comment period, the board acts on the recommendation. A public notice is then issued and a 30-day public comment window is open to any individual to file an appeal before the specification change is implemented. ceramic cpu scrap for sale
