Reports must include estimates of aluminum in landfills by end-use market, industrial waste sites, and automotive industry applications, as well as aluminum scrap exported to foreign countries including foreign entities of concern

Study must identify improvements needed for collection and sorting technologies and recommend policies to divert aluminum from landfills and keep scrap in the domestic supply chain
