Rejection Criteria
Conditions and thresholds that trigger immediate rejection or downgrading.
Aluminum content insufficient
Threshold
Aluminum <70%
Action
FULL REJECTION or reclassification to lower-grade mixed scrap
Reason
- Aluminum Content Below Zorba Specification
- Commercial Value Insufficient
- Not Aluminum-Dominant Classification
Test Method
- Xrf Spectrometry Sample Analysis
- Visual/Manual Sorting Estimation
Severity
CRITICAL - SPECIFICATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection With Potential Reclassification
- Aluminum-Dominant Requirement Violated
- Significant Value Loss
Ferrous contamination excessive
Threshold
Iron >2% OR visible ferrous fragments >3% by volume
Action
FULL REJECTION or magnetic re-separation required buyer expense
Reason
- Ferrous Mixing Exceeds Tolerance
- Magnetic Separation Inadequate
- Processing Contamination Unacceptable
Test Method
- Magnetic Separation Test
- Visual Inspection Ferrous Fragments
Severity
CRITICAL - CONTAMINATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
- Magnetic Re-Separation Mandatory At Seller Expense
- Processing Delay Significant
Plastic contamination excessive
Threshold
Plastics/organics >3% OR visible heavy contamination extreme
Action
FULL REJECTION or cleaning requirement seller expense
Reason
- Contamination Exceeds Processing Tolerance
- Shredder Residue Excessive
- Aluminum Recovery Economically Compromised
Test Method
- Loss On Ignition (Loi)
- Visual Inspection
- Manual Separation Percentage
Severity
MAJOR - CONTAMINATION FAILURE
Consequence:
- Full Rejection Or Cleaning Requirement
- Processing Economics Violated
- Value Loss Significant
Hazardous materials detected
Threshold
Batteries (ANY type), mercury switches, PCBs, radioactive materials present DETECTED
Action

Reason
- Aluminum Dominance Specification Violated
- Not Zorba Classification
- Copper Concentration Excessive
- Material Identity Uncertain
Test Method
- Xrf Analysis
- Visual/Manual Sorting Composition
Severity
MAJOR - SPECIFICATION VIOLATION
Consequence:
- Full Rejection
