There are some important regions where no recycling<br />

data have been collected and where little data<br />

are available on the amount of metal being lost annually<br />

to landfills or other material streams. Because<br />

of this, data collection has been complemented by<br />

the development of a resource flow model to help<br />

identify applications where aluminium is not yet<br />

being recycled to its full potential and to identify<br />

present and future recycling flows. The IAI’s <strong>Global</strong><br />

ways in which to promote better collection of these<br />

products in order to maximise recycling potential<br />

and thus minimise the energy use and green house<br />
