According to the specification, vesper“can be made up of aluminum sheet, extrusion and/or plate grades (wrought aluminum) segregated from zorba or twitch. The material must be dry and not contain more than 1 percent max free Mg [magnesium], 1 percent max free Zn [zinc], and 0.50 percent analytical Fe [iron]. Not containing more than 1 percent max nonmetallics. Material to be free of excessively oxidized material, air bag canisters or any sealed or pressurized items.

ReMA’s ISRI Specifications are internationally recognized guidelines used by buyers and sellers of recycled materials and products, including nonferrous and ferrous scrap, glass cullet, paper stock, plastic, electronics and tire scrap. The specifications are intended to assist in the trading of scrap commodities and are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the expanding range of commercially recyclable materials.
