•    Description:  This article presents an overview of the current scrap market. It notes that keeping zorba (a shredded mix of nonferrous metals that typically consists primarily of aluminum) in North America — rather than exporting it — would radically change the scrap supply equation for secondary alloy producers compared to today. Also discussed are two new sorting technology developments based on x-rays, such as x-ray transmission (XRT) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF), that will have a profound impact on the aluminum recycling industry in the coming years.
