Dear Ying,

Do you know who the biggest recyclers of aluminum are consistently worldwide? The biggest extracters, refiners, etc. of bauxite-aluminum such as ALCAN, Alcoa, Kaiser and their affiliates. Recycling aluminum is far less expensive than the reliance on virgin raw materials. Differentials fluctuate over time, space, and interest level.
