AUGUST 2001 Page 2 of 7 4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Rules For Determination And Reporting Of Recycled Content The recycled content report must be in conformance with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines (CFR 16, Part 260) fo
10、r environmental advertising and marketing claims. Section 5 of the FTC Act provides FTC control of advertising and marketing claims. The use of deceptive advertising claims affecting commerce is unlawful. The FTC guidelines state that a recycled claim may be made only for those materials that have b
11、een recovered or otherwise diverted from the solid waste stream, either during the manufacturing process (pre-consumer or secondary) or after consumer use (post-consumer). To claim pre-consumer recycled content, it must be substantiated that the material (being recycled) would otherwise have entered
12、 the waste stream. Home scrap or virgin scrap, i.e., those materials which are ordinarily collected (scraps from trimming operations, etc.) and are routinely reprocessed for combination with virgin material for reuse in further production of the same product within the original manufacturing process
13、, is not counted as recycled content because this material would not have ordinarily entered the waste stream. 4.2 For products, components, assemblies and modules comprised of different parts and materials, such that the component is partially made of recycled materials, a worksheet should be used
14、to determine the recycled content of the component. A worksheet for the determination of the recycled content of a mid- range diesel engine is included as an example. Percentages used for reporting recycled content should be weighted values representing an average annual value. The recycled content
15、claim should be adequately qualified to avoid deception about the amount of recycled content in the finished product. 4.3 In the case of truck production, where materials, parts, subassemblies, and components, are supplied from several sources and the amount of recycled content from each source vari
16、es, an annual weighted average of recycled content in the product of each of the sources may be used to report the annual average recycled content of the truck. 4.4 Guide To Recycled Content 4.4.1 Ferrous Castings Most ferrous castings produced domestically are made from metals melted in electric fu
17、rnaces using melt charges of purchased scrap metal, virgin ferroalloy additives and pig iron, and internal returns. That portion (percentage) of the charge which consists of purchased scrap is counted as post consumer recycled content. That portion (percentage) of the charge which consists of intern
18、al returns, less the amount of “home scrap”, is counted as secondary (preconsumer) recycled content. Gray iron, ductile iron, austempered ductile iron, and steel castings made in domestic foundries will generally have post consumer recycled contents of 30% to 70%. Truck parts produced from cast meta
19、ls include engine blocks, transmission cases, housings, cast wheels, spring suspension brackets, etc. NUMBER: TMS-9602 TITLE: Reporting Recycled Content Of International Products REVISION: A-1 This document is restricted and may not be sent outside International Truck and Engine Corporation or repro

AUGUST 2001 Page 3 of 7 4.4.2 Steel Forgings, Bars, Bar Shapes, Rods, and Wire Most domestic bar, and bar product steel mills use
21、 electric furnace melting practices with 100% cold metal charges. The cold metal charge typically consists of 70% to 90% purchased scrap and 5% to 25% internal returns with up to 5% virgin ferroalloy additives. The purchased scrap percentage is reported as post consumer recycled content. That portio
22、n (percentage) of the charge which consists of internal returns, less the amount of “home scrap”, is counted as secondary (preconsumer) recycled content. Truck parts produced from these bar products include most forged and machined parts such as engine and transmission gears and shafts, steering arm
23、s and knuckles, rear axle and PTO gears and shafts, bearings, drivelines, front and rear axles, seamless tubes, fasteners, and springs, etc. 4.4.3 Steel Products, Flat Rolled Most domestic steel mills providing flat rolled products for automotive applications use a BOF practice with continuous slab
24、casting. Pig iron is produced from virgin materials in a blast furnace and the hot metal is transferred to the BOF. The melt charge typically consists of 70% to 80% virgin hot metal with a scrap metal charge of 25 to 30%, and 1-2% of virgin ferroalloys. The scrap charge is typically reported as 60%
25、to 80 % purchased scrap and 20% to 40% internal returns. The amount of purchased scrape is reported as post consumer recycled content. That portion of the scrap charge which consists of internal returns, less the amount of “home scrap”, is counted as secondary (preconsumer) recycled content. Truck p
26、arts made from flat rolled steel products include chassis frame rails, cross members, fifth wheels, flat brackets, wheels, and cab sheet metal panels, etc. 4.4.4 Wrought Aluminum Products Domestic wrought aluminum products including sheet, plate, bars and extrusions, contain 30% to 65% recycled cont
27、ent. The recycled content of wrought products varies between specific aluminum alloys and between different producers. At present, the Aluminum Association has not developed a sufficient statistical data base to provide a general recycled content of aluminum by alloy grade. Depending on review of th
28、e suppliers responses in the recycled content reports, a recycled content between 30-65% may be reported for wrought aluminum products. Truck parts made from wrought aluminum include aluminum cab panels and extrusions, wheels, hubs, and fuel tanks, etc. 4.4.5 Cast Aluminum Products Cast aluminum pro
29、ducts have a higher recycled content than wrought products. This is especially true for common automotive grades of cast aluminum. A significant infrastructure for recycling the automotive aluminum castings is developing under current favorable economic conditions. For cast aluminum grades 308, 328,
30、 and 356, recycled contents of 60% to 80% are common. Truck parts made from cast aluminum include, cast wheel hubs, cab mounting brackets, clutch and brake pedals, steering column housings, and transmission cases, etc. 4.4.6 Rubber And Elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers are recyclable while thermos
31、et rubber and elastomers have limited recyclability. At present, the recycled content of most rubber parts is low. Tires contain 1% recycled rubber and 2% recycled steel by weight. Additional items may be disclosed as Recycled Content Forms are returned by suppliers. 4.4.7 Plastic At present, the re
32、cycled content of currently used plastic parts and components is not clearly known. Thermoplastic parts may have a recycled content of 5-25%, with a lower content for thermosets, but suppliers will have to report recycled content of specific parts or families of parts in order to provide a more accu
33、rate determination for reporting purposes.

AUGUST 2001 Page 4 of 7 4.5 Reporting Recycled Content Suppliers of materials, parts, components, subassemblies and assemblies to International will report the recycled content of their pr
35、oduct(s) by filling out the Recycled Content Report Form. The recycled content value reported should represent an annual weighted average of the recycled content in the product supplied. Both the post consumer recycled content and secondary recycled contents should be reported. The values reported f
36、or the recycled content should be reviewed periodically and updated as the recycling technology advances and improvements in manufacturing processes are made. 4.6 Recycled Content Report Form Suppliers will provide the information indicated in the report for each part number or unit/feature code whi
37、ch they are providing. Examples of typical reports are shown on the next page.
