• Description: Recycling rates of Al from autos have not been well understood and the rates have been questioned over time due to the complexity of the automotive recycling value chain and the absence of quality statistical data and information. In order to address this, Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s (WPI’s) Center for Resource Recovery and Recycling (CR3) joined forces with the Aluminum Association to obtain the needed data to ascertain and determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the automotive aluminum recycling value chain. In this article, the authors discuss the objective, methodology, and results of the report.
