The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) has introduced Vesper, a new aluminum scrap specification focused on preserving the integrity of high-grade wrought aluminum recovered from vehicles, buildings, and industrial applications. As demand grows for clean, traceable, and circular aluminum recycling, Vesper sets a clear benchmark for purity and process control.

Vesper defines strict thresholds for magnesium, zinc, iron, and nonmetallics, and requires dry, non-oxidized material free of sealed or pressurized components. These standards aim to prevent high-quality aluminum from being downcycled into lower-grade cast alloys, supporting closed-loop reuse in manufacturing.

Engineered Recycling Systems designs and builds the recovery platforms that make this level of precision possible. Our modular systems—trusted across copper and aluminum wire processing—can be configured to support Vesper-grade separation and throughput. From granulation and air separation to magnetic and eddy current sorting, ERS technology empowers recyclers to meet evolving specifications with confidence.

If your operation is preparing for Vesper-grade aluminum recovery, ERS is ready to engineer the solution. Let’s build it together.
