The existing market price of Zorba scrap may be obtained from nearby scrap yards. The price depends on the richness of the metal content in it.
It is not easy to separate out the various non ferrous metal components in Zorba using traditional manual sorting methods. The Scrap yards often employ mechanical eddy current sorters to sort Zorba into Twitch-a product rich in aluminum. Twitch, which has higher aluminum concentration, will have more value than aluminum sold as Zorba. The sensor-based sorting techniques also help to recover other metals that are present in the mixed scrap, however small the quantity may be.
