Zinc scrap in Louisiana
In Louisiana, zinc reaches the scrap stream by way of petrochemicals, oil and gas, ports and shipping, and seafood. Expect separate prices for Zinc Die Cast. Clean, sorted Zinc Die Cast sits at the top of the board while Zinc Die Cast is priced for the extra processing it needs. Across Louisiana, dozens of yards accept zinc; the largest clusters are in Abbeville, New Orleans, and Shreveport. Southeast mills and Gulf and Atlantic ports give Louisiana yards short shipping legs to the buyers of die-cast remelters and zinc alloy producers. Treat the figures on this page as a daily national baseline; a Louisiana yard will quote around them once it knows your grade, weight, and how well the load is sorted.
