I'm seeking professionals working in the U.S. metal recycling industry and commodities experts to share their insights for an article that examines current and future industry demand within the context of existing tariffs on imported aluminum and steel. My main questions are: 1.) An April study noted an unintended consequence of the tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to the United States is a demand spike for locally sourced metals, including recovered metals. Have you personally experienced any of this demand increase? 2.) Overall, the market for recovered metals is projected to expand 6% between 2025 and 2034 and surpass $5 billion. As someone with inside knowledge of this industry, do you think this is a realistic assessment? 3.) Which types of recycled metals do you work with? Where have you witnessed the biggest demand increase (or drop) in recent months? 4.) Have the current Trump tariffs on imported aluminum and steel impacted your business? If so, please explain.
