Abstract |
The report summarizes a study that compared the transportation rates for competing secondary (scrap) and virgin materials in five industries: iron and steel, glass, paperboard, rubber, and aluminum products. The three major points researched in the study are: Whether rates are reasonable for each commodity; whether carriers discriminate against secondary materials in ratemaking to the benefit of the respective competing virgin materials; and the magnitude of the effect of transportation charges on commodity prices. |
Highlights Notes |
Compares railroad transportation rates for secondary (scrap and reclaimed) materials with rates for primary (virgin) materials for six commodity pairs in five industries, including iron, steel, paper, glass, aluminum, and rubber. |
