Working opportunity

#### Value shift to explore

Move from broad scrap grades to higher-value material products defined by chemistry, contamination, provenance, process route and end-market specification.

Suggested first test

#### Start with one bounded stream

Select one shredder, slag or residue stream. Build a mass-balance and spec map, then qualify two higher-value product routes and buyers.

#### Commercial approach

Design partner + product qualification partner

A credible material product needs a repeatable input, a defined process, a specification that a buyer will accept, a viable route to market, and economics that beat the current destination.

#### Suggested working session

Bring an operations owner and a commercial or materials lead around one stream. Trace the current route, define product-quality requirements, and identify the buyer or downstream use that would make a pilot worth doing.
