According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc., during 2008 60% of the metals and alloys produced in the United States were made from non-ferrous scrap.  Recycled non-ferrous scrap is a vital raw material for many manufacturers and is fundamental to preserving the environment by conserving raw materials, reducing energy consumption and limiting landfill space.

 

Liberty handles a variety of non-ferrous scrap, including aluminum, copper, brass, lead, nickel, stainless and hi temp alloys and other non-ferrous items, to support the diverse needs of its domestic and international customers.   Liberty’s non-ferrous warehouse facilities purchase old non-ferrous scrap metal from private, commercial and other sources and as well as new non-ferrous scrap from industrial customers’ production and machine processing operations.

 

Liberty’s non-ferrous warehouses are equipped with state-of-the-art processing equipment to sort, process and package non-ferrous metals to produce the highest quality raw materials for its refineries, smelters, mills, foundries and specialty customers globally ensuring regular supplies at competitive prices. Liberty’s use of spectrometers and magnetization and chemical analysis performed at its in-house labs highlights the importance of quality control and value-added service of tailoring the composition of processed scrap to meet specific customer metallurgical requirements.
