The prepared scrap arises from post-consumer scrap (UBC) recovered from the consumer waste stream. The UBCs may be collected in a municipal curbside program and dropped off by individuals or groups interested in generating revenue. UBCs must be treated prior to their melting in a furnace. First, the UBCs are shredded to remove trapped water and other contaminants. The uniform size of the shreds helps material flow in downstream processing. The shreds are passed under magnetic separators to remove ferrous contamination. In some facilities, air knives are also used to prevent the inclusion of heavy contamina-tion such as lead, stainless steel, or zinc. The metal leaves the shredders and passes into a decoating unit. This unit heats the metal and coatings, resulting in the vaporization and oxidation of the coatings. The decoating process results in the transfer of the hot metal to the melting furnace.Prepared and clean aluminium scrap that can be remelted to form secondary aluminium ingots.Partly terminated systemAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massNoneAll data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.None1% cut-off criteria applied for non-hazardous inputs & outputs except alloying elements which are not considered. - No cut-off criteria for hazardous products emissions (ex. PAH, PFC, BaP, etc.) - Infrastructure not included. All ancillary processes (electricity, caustic soda, etc.) included.
Cut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).
