1. Significant interest in the products and technology to increase profitability 2. Selling prices of nearly all core commodities and metals prices are weak 3. Significant impact of costs incurred by metals processors and recyclers to landfill waste materials 4. Increased environmental regulations imposed upon metals processors and recyclers with respect to landfill waste 5. Strong current focus on alternate sources of energy and the benefits from CO2 credits.
threat to manufacturing, rendering
processing-based industrial path unviable in the future. (IPAP 2)
water leads to socialised costs through, for example pollution. Dangerous waste (like acid mine drainage) must be treated to prevent damage to ecosystems, infrastructure and health, while the extraction of value from waste streams improves the cost-benefit of waste management overall. (IPAP2)
for a large percentage of CO2 emissions, which directly contribute to climate change effects. It is clear that without delay we need to implement practices that will reduce demand, choose cleaner sources and deploy the best available energy technologies that will also create much needed jobs.

American Platinum (Amplats), the world's top platinum producer, signalled on Monday it plans to trim loss-making shafts as producers of the metal grapple with depressed prices and a rise in union militancy”
“Struggling Amplats going headlong into market development, cost cutting”
Products are made principally from recycled aluminum and aluminum oxides into end products
value by-products and waste materials from landfills, resulting in low raw material costs, and giving the company a strong competitive advantage

Products Explosives
Tests conducted by the CSIR showed Samite Prill blended with commercial explosives:
11ms An international physicist reported the product:
with a resultant increase in detonation pressure of 38 – 40% These have resulted in:
40%
Explosives
Prill is blended with fine coal in a pre-combustion strategy for injection into burners to achieve the following results: – Reduction in noxious gases by up to 40% – Reduction rates on kilns by 40% – Sulphur and Phosphorous reduction – Low grade coal utilisation – Increased energy output and CV modification – Increased metallisation
tested with a number of companies including: – Xstrata – Anglo Platinum – Merafe Resources – CSIR – Mittal Steel – Sasol – Khumba
