The CSM Non-Ferrous Story
Jimmy Maulding, Non-ferrous Supervisor, watches as copper is loaded onto the conveyer that feeds the HRB.
At CSM, the non-ferrous metal division has its own warehouse, building 200. It stores processed non-ferrous
metals and houses our Harris Ram Baler. The Harris Ram Baler works constantly to produce 2-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 5
bales that weigh between 1200 and 4500 lbs., depending on the product. Some non-ferrous metals, thanks
to our proximity to the Charleston ports, are sold and shipped overseas in containers. The rest of the nonferrous products are packaged in Gaylord boxes or bales and are shipped in dry vans throughout the U.S.

We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve you!

The CSM Non-Ferrous Story continued
The most commonly used non-ferrous metals are aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, nickel,
titanium, cobalt, chromium and precious metals. Millions of tons of non-ferrous scrap
are recovered annually and used by smelters, refiners, ingot makers, foundries, and other
manufacturers. Secondary materials are essential to the industry’s survival because even
new metals often require the combined use of recycled materials.

Aluminum, which is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust, is not surprisingly one
of the most recycled materials today, after steel and paper. It is also the only packaging
material that completely covers the cost of its own collection and processing at
recycling centers. Recovering aluminum for recycling is not only economically viable,
but is also energy efficient and ecologically sound.

All metals can be recycled with minimal or no loss of their original physical properties.
They are such versatile materials that the possible applications for each metal and their
combinations are endless.

o Almost 40% of the world’s demand for copper is met using recycled material.
o At present, approximately 30% of global zinc production comes from
secondary zinc.
o Over 80% of the zinc available for recycling is eventually recycled

A Positive Safety Attitude
Keeping a positive attitude is a major component of an effective safety program. As we begin 2015 keep the following advice in mind:
David Pritt, Jamal Combs and Lance Grimes
Celebrating the beginning of 2015, CSM decided to
re-certify every forklift operator. Classes were held in
the beginning of Feb. Per OSHA, operators were taught
proper forklift inspections and understanding and
utilizing the correct ratios for forklift stability and
operating procedures.The operators training consisted
of formal instruction that included lecture, discussions,
video and written material. After successful
completion of a written exam, an evaluation of the
operator’s performance in the workplace was monitored
by the trainer. Two seasoned pros and one newcomer
demonstrated highly technical proficiency while
operating a forklift and also scored 100% on the
challenging written test. CSM congratulates Jamal
Combs, Lance Grimes and David Pritt for their
outstanding performance.

Steel’s Contribution to The
Environment, Society and The
Economy
Technological development has enabled significant improvements
in energy efficiency in steelmaking. During the past 30 years, the
amount of energy required to produce one ton of steel has been
reduced by 50%. Water uptake and discharge are close to each
other, with a small loss due to evaporation. Water recycled back
into rivers and other sources is often cleaner than when extracted.
Product design and consumer behavior affect the overall environmental performance and efficiency of products. To understand the
environmental performance of a product, its entire life cycle needs
to be taken into consideration. The steel industry pays special attention to the contribution of steel over the life cycle of products,
especially in the use phase. For example, it provides lighter, safer,
long-lasting and more intelligent structures for transport and construction.
The benefits of new and promising products made of, or with, steel
are possible through investments in research and development
and state-of-the-art technologies. The FutureSteelVehicle (FSV)
program, which is focused on steel product design, developed an
automobile steel body structure that reduces mass by more than
35% and the total life cycle emissions of the vehicle by nearly 70%
