At Alter Trading, our interns don’t just gain experience, they help make an impact and shape the future of metal recycling. This year’s Summer Intern is Niamh Prentiss, an environmental engineering major from the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison Corporate Sustainability Internship Program. Here’s what she has to say about interning for Alter so far this summer: Q: Describe your internship project at Alter Trading: A: “I have been working on creating a greenhouse gas inventory for Alter’s Wisconsin yards. A greenhouse gas inventory tracks direct and indirect emission sources and the number of heat-trapping gases that are released over a given year. I am working to create a standardized system for creating a yearly GHG inventory. This will allow Alter to easily track their GHG emissions year after year.” Q: What have you learned this summer about the metal recycling industry? A: “Before working with Alter, I had little understanding of the importance of metal recycling. The metal recycling industry has many environmental benefits. By reducing the need for mining metals, Alter helps cut down on greenhouse gas emissions associated with extracting and processing raw materials.” Q: What is the most memorable experience you’ve had so far at Alter Trading?A: “The most memorable experience has been exploring the different scrap yards and learning about the metal recycling industry. This industry is one that I knew very little about. Working here this summer has allowed me to understand the innerworkings of metal recycling and to understand its importance. Touring Alter’s yards and learning about the different steps it takes to create a final product are experiences I will never forget.” Thank you, Niamh, for rising to the challenge of collecting and managing data that will help shape strategies that guide our sustainability programs going forward.

Did you know that recycling metals like aluminum, copper, and steel can save up to 95% of the energy needed to produce new metals from raw materials? It’s an easy way to contribute to a greener planet and support a sustainable future. Get involved and bring your scrap to your local facility – every bit helps!
