Millberry

Millberry copper scrap is the highest grade of recycled copper, consisting of clean, unalloyed, and uncoated copper wire, usually with a purity of 99.9% or higher.

Berry/Candy

berry/Candy copper refers to high-grade, clean, unalloyed, and uncoated copper scrap (ISRI codes "Berry" and "Candy"). It consists of heavy copper solids, pipes, and clean wire, with around 99% purity and is highly valued in recycling for its lack of insulation, paint, or solder.

Birch/Clif

Birch/Cliff is a premium grade of #2 miscellaneous, unalloyed copper scrap defined by ISRI (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries) standards, containing a nominal 94–96% copper content. It combines Birch (no. 2 wire) and Cliff (no. 2 solids/tubing), originating from electrical wires, cables, and plumbing pipes.

Tense/Taint Tabor

Tense/Taint Tabor is a categorization of clean aluminum scrap, used in the recycling industry. It refers to mixed aluminum sheets and castings that are free of impurities, such as insulation, plastic, dirt, or other non-metallic items.

Extrusion (6061 & 6063)

6063 and 6061 aluminum alloys are popular for extrusion, with 6063 favored for architectural, smooth-finish, and complex profiles, while 6061 is preferred for structural strength, superior corrosion resistance, and better machinability

UBC (Used Beverage Cans)

Used Beverage Cans (UBC) are post-consumer aluminum beverage containers, typically made of high-quality aluminum alloy, that are collected for recycling. They are highly valuable in the scrap market due to their, consistent composition, ability to be recycled indefinitely, and low contamination levels.

Aluminum Wire Scrap (Talon)

Aluminum Wire Scrap (Talon) refers to a specific grade of high-quality scrap consisting of new, clean, unalloyed aluminum wire or cable. According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) standards,

Zinc SHG – Special High Grade

Zinc SHG (Special High Grade) is high-purity zinc containing a minimum of 99.995% zinc. It is widely used in galvanizing, die casting, brass production, and other industrial applications where consistent chemical composition and high purity are required.

Zinc SSHG – Super Special High Grade

Zinc SSHG (Super Special High Grade) is a higher-purity zinc grade designed for applications requiring stringent chemical specifications and controlled material quality. It is suitable for specialized industrial processes where purity and consistency are critical.

Zinc Die-Casting Runners, Gates & Production Scrap

Zinc die-casting runners, gates, and production scrap are generated during the manufacturing of zinc die-cast components. This material can be recovered and recycled efficiently, making it suitable for secondary zinc production and the manufacture of new zinc-based components.

Zamak / Zinc Alloy Scrap

Zamak and zinc alloy scrap includes recyclable materials such as Zamak 3, Zamak 5, and other zinc-based alloys. These materials are commonly generated from die-casting and manufacturing operations and can be processed for alloy recovery and reuse in industrial applications.

Zinc Dross

Zinc dross is a zinc-bearing by-product generated primarily during galvanizing and other industrial zinc-processing operations. Its zinc recovery potential can vary by lot, making proper assessment and processing important for efficient metal recovery.

Zinc Ash

Zinc ash is a zinc-bearing industrial residue generated during zinc processing and related operations. It contains recoverable zinc and can be processed through appropriate recovery methods for use in secondary zinc production and other metal-recovery applications.

Zinc Turnings & Borings

Zinc turnings and borings are machining scrap generated during the cutting, drilling, turning, and processing of zinc and zinc-alloy components. These recyclable materials can be collected, sorted, and processed for zinc recovery and reuse.

Zinc Sheet / Roofing Scrap

Zinc sheet and roofing scrap consists of zinc sheets, roofing materials, manufacturing cuttings, and production off-cuts. It is suitable for recycling and metal recovery, providing a valuable source of secondary zinc for industrial applications.

Zinc New & Old Scrap

Zinc new and old scrap includes a wide range of industrial production scrap and post-consumer zinc materials in various grades and forms. Properly sorted material can be recovered and recycled for use in secondary zinc production and other industrial applications.
