EU considers aluminum scrap export ban
The European Commission is moving toward banning the export of aluminum scrap to non-Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, in an effort to reduce waste exports and promote recycling within the European Union. This decision comes after acknowledging the difficulty of implementing partial export restrictions, with exceptions limited to some advanced countries seeking to join the EU. Aluminum scrap is a major source of raw materials for European factories and plays a significant role in reducing carbon emissions, as recycling processes consume about 95% less energy compared to extracting the metal from bauxite ore. The proposal is expected to be presented to legislative bodies before the end of the year.
