US Junk Sales To China Rising

Posted on Wednesday, September 12 at 10:41 by Diogenes
China has bought 58 percent of US scrap-paper exports this year. Waste iron and steel rose to 2 million metric tons in 2006 from 166,000 in 1998, the report said. "It's a seller's market right now," said P&T Metals Inc.Chief Executive Officer Kurt Rexius in South El Monte, Calif. P&T sends 80 percent of the materials it processes to Asian metal brokers. China's demand for junk offsets the US trade deficit and "might help save the planet," Newsweek said. US scrap dealers are part of a $65 billion industry that employs 50,000 people, the magazine said. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-09/11/content_6097073.htm [Proofreader’s note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on September 13, 2007]

    Of course we here in two thirds of North Amarica could use our one scrap metals if it weren't for those pesky labourers demanding a wage that exceeds the the rising costs thanks to fractional reserve banking and whatever other trickery the masters of the universe have in store for us.<br />

    Many of the products that are made in China tend to break within only a few days of normal use and have to be treated as toxic waste - now we know why.

    A grand scale example of "garbage in, garbage out".

    "Waste iron and steel rose to 2 million metric tons in 2006 from 166,000 in 1998, the report said."

    I bet China got an excellent deal on all that WTC evidence. A new meaning to "fire sale".
