DEFINITION OF PROCESSING
Raw Materials University Day 19/06/2014 Athens, Greece
The series of unit operationsthat
transforms industrial materials from
a raw material state into
finished parts or productsis called
processing

GLOBAL RECYCLING CONTENT (RC)
RC = the fraction of metal scrap
in the total metal input of
fabricated metal
