| Increase recycling of aluminum |
25% recycled aluminum content in fabricated products by 2010; 50% by 2020 |
Ratio of purchased scrap to total fabricated product shipments was 30%. However, the total amount of recycled metal in our products is somewhat lower since a portion of the purchased scrap would have been included in primary ingot sold to third parties.
