Zeyda SHREDDED INSULATED COPPER WIRE Shall consist predominantly of recovered ICW (Insulated Copper Wire) that has been derived by either mechanical or physical separation. This material is likely to have other metals, in small percentages (should be less than 5%) that were not successfully separated.

The percentage of each metal within the overall product shall be subject to agreement between buyer and seller. Shall have passed one or more magnets to reduce or eliminate free iron and/ or large iron attachments. Shall be free of radioactive material, dross, or ash. Material to be bought/ sold under this guideline shall be identified as “Zeyda” with two numbers to follow, indicating the estimated percentage recoverable copper wire and the second indicating the maximum amount of other metals or contaminants expected. (e.g., “Zeyda 45/3” means the material contains approximately 45% copper and up to 3% other material). May also be screened to permit description by specific size ranges.

Zorba SHREDDED Nonferrous Scrap (predominantly aluminum) Shall be made up of a combination of the nonferrous metals: aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, stainless steel, nickel, tin, and zinc, in elemental or alloyed (solid) form. The percentage of each metal within the nonferrous concentrate shall be subject to agreement between buyer and seller. Material generated by eddy current, air separation, flotation, screening, other segregation technique(s), or a combination thereof. Shall have passed one or more magnets to reduce or eliminate free iron and/or large iron attachments. Shall be free of radioactive material, dross, or ash. Material to be bought/sold under this guideline shall be identified as “Zorba” with a number to follow indicating the estimated percentage nonferrous metal content of the material (e.g., “Zorba 90” means the material contains approximately 90% nonferrous metal content). May also be screened to permit description by specific size ranges. 

Zurik SHREDDED Nonferrous SENSOR SORTED Scrap (predominantly stainless steel) Shall be made up of a combination of the nonferrous metals: stainless steel, insulated copper wire, aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, tin, and zinc, in elemental or alloyed (solid) form.The percentage of each metal within the nonferrous concentrate shall be subject to agreement between buyer and seller. Material generated by computer sensing equipment (e.g., induction sensor sorting or X-ray) technique(s). Shall have passed one or more magnets to reduce or eliminate free iron and/or large iron attachments. Shall be free of radioactive material, dross, or ash. Material to be bought/sold under this guideline shall be identified as “Zurik” with a number to follow indicating the estimated percentage nonferrous content of the material (e.g., “Zurik 90” means the material contains approximately 90% nonferrous metal content). May also be screened to permit description by specific size ranges. (Refer also to Zurik under Nickel/Stainless/ Hi Temp.)
