National Stockpile: Could Recycled DOD Aluminum be Used to Meet the Current Aluminum Need?

Abstract

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO considered the legal, technical, and economic feasibility of recycling scrap aluminum for use in the National Defense Stockpile. GAO focused on aluminum because the: (1) stockpiled supply of aluminum is less than 1 percent of the amount set as a stockpile goal; and (2) the Department of Defense (DOD) generates large amounts of scrap aluminum.
