Supplementary notes

This statistic was assembled using several editions of the report.

According to source, recycling figures represent estimates of the quantity of metal recovered from open loop recycling (i.e. where the original purchaser does not retain control of the metal throughout). For instance, automotive recycling represents the weight of metal recovered from end of life vehicles and aftermarket scrap in an individual region, allocated to where the car is scrapped rather than where the metal is finally recovered. These figures do not include warranty or production scrap. Where no recycling figures are given, open loop recycling is negligible.
