and a press snippet from 1998 referring to NMP

According to Richard L. Lister, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zemex Corporation, the parent of Alumitech, "This acquisition is consistent with our plans to ultimately build several large-scale aluminum recycling plants that will utilize our proprietary technology to convert aluminum waste by-product or, as we refer to it, non-metallic product (NMP) into commercially saleable materials


ALUMITECH Inc was taken over in 2005 by Aleris

Aleris filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on 12 February 2009.


1. June 2010

Aleris emerges from bankruptcy as private company


however

Aleris statement on their own website about Al recycling is:

All around the world, Aleris operations are focused on recycling and reusing aluminum products. The goal is to recover the maximum amount of aluminum from scrap and by-products.

&

Recycling aluminum by-products can reduce the waste sent to landfills by 20 percent or more

landfill? what landfill?
