MATERIALS & COMMODITIES A century of scrap specifications for ISRI


FIRST published in 1919, The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI)’s scrap specifications have become the universal language for scrap buyers and sellers in domestic and international trades.


Specifications are, in the simplest terms, shorthand for scrap transactions, covering a variety of categories including ferrous, non-ferrous, paper, plastics, glass cullet, electronics, tire rubber, tire wire, and inbound material for material recovery facilities.


ISRI specifications generally assign a word, number and/or letters to a specific scrap product followed by a brief item description, then a more detailed summary – the specification – of the material.


Honey, for instance, is the word that denotes Yellow Brass Scrap, which is followed by a 36-word specification for the material. As with Honey, virtually all ISRI non-ferrous specs identify scrap items using distinctive words such as Candy, Druid, Naggy, and Taldork.


In contrast, paper and ferrous


specifications use numbers, with paper grades designated by single and double digits and ferrous items identified by three-digit numbers.


The oldest specifications primarily dealt with metals and were conceived in an era when most long-distance business was transacted via teletype, meaning messages were sent by telegram or ‘wire’. The longer the message, the more expensive the transmission. To minimize costs, the original scrap specifications identified


material with short numbers or words.


Far from being set in stone, scrap specifications are – and must be – flexible to keep up with changes in the industry. Anyone can submit recommendations for new specifications, changes, or deletions.


The Scrap Specifications Circular can be downloaded via the website below. In addition, all public notices for changes can also be located there.
