The board of the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has given tentative approval to add a new specification called “ginger” to its ISRI Specifications booklet. The proposed ginger grade refers to wrought aluminium materials such as sheet, extrusion, and plate. According to ReMA, the material must be dry and meet strict limits. It should not contain more than 1 per cent free magnesium, 1 per cent free zinc, and 0.5 per cent analytical iron. Non-metallic content must also remain below 1 per cent. The material must be free from heavily oxidised pieces, airbag canisters, and any sealed or pressurised items. Any variations are to be agreed upon directly between buyers and sellers.
