• Nickel is rarely used by itself but is commonly mixed with other metals to produce alloys
• The nickel content of these alloys varies widely from, as examples, 1-3% for special engineering steels, 8-14% for stainless steels, 15-40% for special engineering alloys, 40-90% nickel for special alloys for the aerospace and electronic industries.
• Nickel-containing stainless steels commonly contain between 8 and 14% nickel, and account for approximately 60 percent of primary nickel use
• Sometimes the nickel content of a fabricated product is too small at end-of-life to justify the effort and expense of collecting, sorting and preparing of the material in a way that will preserve the nickel in a usable form.
• Examples of this can be engineering steels containing as little as 0.5% nickel, and steel or brass products which are plated very thinly with nickel or chromium-nickel layers to protect the "substrate" product from corrosion.
• Nickel is recycled in two ways. For the most part, nickel is recycled within the stainless steel loop, thereby preserving the value-added properties of nickel. Some nickel, however, gets combined with other metals and is recovered as a minor
  constituent of carbon steel scrap.
• Nickel prices are the highest of the common non - ferrous metals. It follows that the incentives for recovering
  and recycling nickel effectively at all stages of the fabrication and use cycle, are very strong
