National Stockpile: Could Recycled DOD

Aluminum Be Used To Meet The Current

Aluminum Need?


Half of the materials in the National Defense
Stockpile are below the goals established to
meet national defense needs. GAO was
asked to look at whether recycled scrap gen-
erated by the federal government could pro-
vide a supplemental means of filling the
stockpile. This review focused on scrap
aluminum generated by the Department of
Defense (DOD) because the stockpile's sup-
ply of aluminum is very low, and DOD scrap
contains more aluminum than any other
material needed for the stockpile.


GAO found that with reprocessing and
changes in stockpile procedures, DOD scrap
aluminum could make a small contribution
to meeting the aluminum stockpile goal. On
average, however, recycling the scrap would
cost about as much as purchasing a similar
amount of aluminum on the open market.
