Usaha kerjasama di antara Bir dan Scrap Recycling Industries Work untuk memberhentikan Pencurian Metal
Di Quebec, pencuri yang bekerja larut malam dibuat dengan bagian-bagian atap, talang, dan pengawatan terbuat dari tembaga dari empat gereja Kota Quebec. Di metro Atlanta, Georgia, laporan pencurian pengaturan suhu udara dari sedikit rumah dan tempat komersial ialah sebab untuk keprihatinan. Sementara itu, perlengkapan stasiun pusat ponsel sudah dihancurkan sebagai hasil pencurian kawat tembaga dan feedline. Masalah pencurian logam ini yang tersebar luas sudah mempunyai dampak berarti atas industri mendaur ulang dan perusahaan lain yang persediaan atau perlengkapannya sudah dianggap berharga oleh individu yang tak cermat yang memeriksa uang di atas harga naik logam.
Sebenarnya, harga bertambah baja tahan karat sudah membawa masalah yang dibagikan untuk dua bermacam-macam, dan kelihatannya tak berhubungan, industri: sisa recyclers dan penyalur bir. Sewaktu nilai sisa tong sudah menjadi lebih tinggi daripada deposito, mencuri, konsumen curang dan, di beberapa kasus, pengecer, sudah menebus tong logam di sisa mendaur ulang halaman lebih baik daripada mengembalikan mereka kepada pemilik sah. Pada 2007, pembuat bir mengatakan mereka kehilangan ratusan ribu tong dan jutaan dolar sewaktu tempat baja tahan karat seduhan dicuri dan dijual untuk sisa.
The problem can be twofold as keg-buying customers opt to forgo their deposits, which can range from $10 to $30, knowing they can cover that expense, and then some, if they sell to scrap dealers. Given current metal trading prices, a keg could fetch from $15 to $55 or more at scrap yards.
"Beginning in 2005, we started noticing a pronounced loss of kegs during our annual audit by Anheuser-Busch," explained Mike Dowd, Vice President and General Manager for CITY Beverage-Markham. "Distributors are billed for the missing kegs. CITY Beverage was not alone in the significant funds we expended to replace the stolen kegs. It is an industry-wide problem."
Roger Bushnell, Ferrous Processing & Trading's (FPT) Vice President of Non - Ferrous Metals, learned of this concern soon after it developed. "Because of our relationship with sister companies CITY Beverage and Kalamazoo Beer Distributing, FPT quickly became involved in spreading awareness to our industry. The wide - ranging portfolio of companies' allowed us to gain knowledge of the growing number of keg thefts early on."
Industry associations have now joined together to actively deter the illegal practice. In July 2007, the Beer Institute, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries, Inc., and the Brewers Association issued a joint letter to recyclers with the simple message: "Don't accept beer kegs at your facility." The letter also provided window stickers warning would - be thieves that beer kegs should be returned to local beer wholesalers or retailers.
"If there is no available market, the kegs will be returned to the retailer, and ultimately, the distributor," noted Bushnell. In Michigan, brewers were recently allowed to raise the keg deposit and the market is correcting itself. Illinois legislators have passed a bill that becomes law on August 18, 2007 making it illegal for scrap recyclers to accept kegs.
"All kegs are stamped with the owners' name. Anyone attempting to redeem them will have to prove ownership," detailed Dowd. "This new law will help us to get our arms around this problem."
Sister company FPT is doing its part to stop the unwelcome practice. "Our ongoing and historical policy is not to accept kegs," Bushnell firmly noted.
