Recent Projects of the Sloan Industry Center for a Sustainable Aluminum Industry Promoting Aluminum Recycling

摘要

The Sloan Industry Center for a Sustainable Aluminum Industry (CSAI) has recently partnered with academia and industry on several projects to promote aluminum can recycling. Some of these projects have focused on counties in Kentucky as a sample test in the hopes that information learned at this level can then be applied to communities across the United States. These projects have included developing a database for understanding the economics of aluminum recycling, implementing a business methodology for improving recycling rates, and increasing the general knowledge regarding recycling behavior. In addition, two new proposals concerning recycling from landfills and studying recycling behavior are currently in the preliminary stages.
