Colorado's biggest export to China last year wasn't high-end instruments or industrial machines. For the first time, it was scrap metal and waste products.~


Containers come from China full of manufactured goods and return filled with lower-valued scrap.


They are mining the United States and developed countries for scrap metal," said Michael Rosen, manager of Atlas Metal & Iron Corp. in central Denver, which does brisk business shipping mountains of aluminum, copper and iron to foreign lands.


Blame on the exporting model. China internal consumer market is not nig. They lack the volume of old cars, appliances and other consumer items to recycle domestically, so they look to developed areas, Pickard said.
