[greenyes] Barrier Liners/Sealers in Steel or Aluminum Cans

["Christine McCoy" <cmccoy@no.address>]

Stephan -

I believe you may be splitting hairs. All cans have a protective chemical
coating - both food and beverage cans. To the best of my knowledge they have
never presented a problem for recycling.

As for contamination rates - you may want to check the ISRI (Institue of
Scrap Recycling Industries) specifications: http://www.isri.org/. Otherwise
I would talk to Bill Hennan at the Steel Recycling Institute
http://www.recycle-steel.org/. Not sure who you should talk to about
aluminum - sorry!

You should also check with the end market to which you'll be selling your
materials. There could be variations on the official specifications.

Good luck!
