The global market for recycled aluminium is expanding as industries shift toward circular manufacturing to lower carbon emissions. Secondary aluminium production requires up to 95% less energy than primary smelting from bauxite, making it a critical tool for decarbonizing heavy industry. Demand is driven primarily by the automotive and construction sectors. As early mass-produced aluminium vehicles reach the end of their life, a new surge of high-quality scrap is entering the supply chain, allowing manufacturers to increase recycled content in new vehicles and building materials.
