Example text

The survey of scrap cars and appliances, and the demand for scrap, as examined here, already contains sources of error in that other waste must be processed together with this refuse of a prosperous society. Our investigations cannot include, for example, any motor cycles, bicycles and machines or commercial appliances, as the statistical documents on them are too unreliable. With regard to this situation, we may assume that several conflicting tendencies offset each other: the amount of scrap available from cars and appliances, as determined in our estimate, will probably be less in practice, because part is not handled by the scrap trade, either because of used cars going to third countries, or some of the scrap cars in remote areas being left, now and in the future, to rot and rust away on rubbish tips.

However, here we are merely trying to find a rough idea of the quantities. In particular when the quantity of discarded appliances is expressed by weight, it will be shown that the rough estimate obtained from the total volume of scrap material arising is quite sufficient for the task in hand. We base our calculation of the weight of scrap appliances coming forward on the following average weights indicated in data from the appliance "trade: Washing machines: 95 kg Refrigerators: 50 kg Dishwashers: 75 kg Cookers: 80 kg Freezers: 75 kg (ranging between 35 and 120 kg) The hypothetical total weight of large domestic appliances to be scrapped in 1980 can be calculated from this: (in tonnes) Washing machines Dishwashers Refrigerators Freezers Total Federal Republic of Germany 197 600 21 825 95 000 84 975 399 400 France 142 500 21 600 81 150 24 000 269 250 Italy 142 500 29 925 89 500 4 125 266 050 Belgium/Luxemburg 29 000 3 675 1 435 7 050 41 160 Netherlands 42 400 2 175 2 085 7 800 54 460 139 200 4 050 74 700 9 900 227 850 Great Britain - 28 In addition there are the cookers, with a total weight of 532 077 t.

0 Federal Republic of Germany The proportion of the largest steel producers within the ECSC, France and the Federal Republic of Germany, has steadily declined since 1960. In addition to Dutch steel production, which however has little significance in the context of the Community, the Italian share in steel production has increased considerably. This is important as regards the scrap balance of the Community. 4 %. 6 % of crude steel production. The ratio in Great Britain is still very high in relation to the Federal Republic and France.
