***OT*** re metals, shredding, etc... one of my customers in a life PRIOR to recycling business was INDALLOY they would pickup aluminum in various forms from customers and return ingots, charge the processing and transport differential and guarantee quality for the customer's desired factor inputs
my accounting background allowed me to spot the phenmomenal profit component that they had in the 'float', the time that the scrap and was on the trucks, as they would charge the customer on drop off but credit when the material was either delivered in the yard or smelted
re shipping containers, yes compactor boxes work, but i'm not sure if you can put them directly on a ship
quite right about the processes, the actual redirection of the byproducts require considerable education in order that the customer's begin to 'own' the process
it's been a while for me, but the concepts haven't changed, if one can find a way to convert the byproducts into new materials/inputs or actually 'create' a new product, then there is the potential for a wildly successful project
