metal recycling and waste management
Prodktionsrückstände werden von der Industrie oder Aufbereitern ***alimentiert***.
As far as I know they have to take care of the residues themselves, in which case 'manage' comes to mind, but it is obviously branch jargon. Is there any equivalent BE jargon?

meet the costs
Little more than a guess here...
Could it mean that they must meet the costs resulting from the "Prodktionsrückstände"? Cf. normal meaning of "alimentieren", "Alimenti", i.e. the payment of (child)support/maintenance.

supply
The French 'alimenter' usually means 'to supply' in a technical context.
It's not possible for me to judge whether this would make sense in your text, but as you have the entire text in front of you, you should be able to see whether my suggestion would fit into the context or not.
